EJ 1100 Because of his love of democracy. it would not take Brumidi long to fully embrace his newly adopted home. That November he filed paperwork to become an American citizen. Many of us have parents or grandparents who immigrated here from other countries. looking to escape oppression or to come to the land of opportunity to give their children a better life. Many of them succeeded in ways they never dreamed imaginable. Brumidi is one of those success stories. Who could imagine that an immigrant would be tasked with decorating the most significant building in the United States? I believe that it is a testament both to Brumidis resolve and our great Nations willingness to embrace those who want to share in the American Dream. Hundreds of thousands of people walk through these halls every year. but they do not expect to see masterpieces that parallel those in famous European museums and cathedrals.
