Connect, debate, learn in the Global Nation Exchange

[Global Nation] This week, and interactive newsletter We've got a special edition of your weekly newsletter here.

The images are freely available in the New York Public Library. As always, thanks for joining us! —Angilee Shah, senior editor [GlobalNation FB]( [Global Nation Twitter]( [Edit your subscription]( | [Unsubscribe]( Global Nation is a part of PRI - Public Radio International.
