Ethnic Americans have enhanced the values of a society devoted to freedom and cultural pluralism. They have been full and active participants in the life of this country. not only in time of peace but also in time of war. They have not. however. forgotten their roots. In America. millions of immigrants and their descendants are given the opportunity to perpetuate their diverse and distinct cultures and heritages. Many speak their native language and retain close ties with their old culture. Such cultural diversity is important in the development and enrichment of American society. It is in our interest to have an understanding of the depth and breadth of these contributions.
