September 20. 1987. marked the celebration of Ethnic American Day. For years. men. women. and children from many different lands have journeyed to America. often with nothing but their hopes and dreams. in order to begin a new lifeso different from the harsh reality of poverty and totalitarian rule which many of them experienced in their native lands. The promise of America. with the opportunity we have to achieve so much for ourselves and our families. and to exercise so many freedoms. is perhaps most cherished by ethnic. immigrant families. For it is they who often began with little of the privileges we enjoy and usually take for granted. Many ethnic Americans have come from Communistruled countries and have firsthand knowledge of what it means to live under a system completely indifferent to human rights and liberties.
