I too am from a slave family. I'm not of the founding fathers. I celebrate the 4th of July. What other land would we find these freedoms?

When I saw the title of the thread, I clicked on it excpecting to find some dissonance contrived by democrats to divide the people along racial lines. What I found was one of the great speeches in our national history. If humankind begins again to smirk at high ideals, what then will pull upon our boot straps, to lift us from our paganhood?

I have no idea where my family came from. But the founding of this nation established the freedoms we enjoy today regardless of our ancestry.

My family and I are immigrants. We're proud to now call ourselves Americans! There is no other country like it on earth. May God protect her and bless her!
