Some 6000 Somali immigrants have settled there, drastically changing the makeup of a town of 36,000 people in total. Lewiston now has the third highest per capita Muslim population of any U.S. cityCynthia Anderson tells the story of this fractious yet resilient town and how it is thriving in a new era.
