Band. Give me your tired,
your poor, your huddled
masses yearning to
breathe free. "We hold
these truths to be
self-evident: that all
men are created equal."
"Four score and seven
years ago our fathers
brought forth, upon this
continent, a new nation,
conceived in liberty, and
dedicated to the
proposition that 'all men
are created equal.'"
These quotations are
symbolic of one of the
most basic of all
American tenants: that
for all people, our
nation was conceived as a
wellspring of vast
potential, a place of
immeasurable opportunity,
a land where all dreams
could take root, grow,
and flourish. America
represents a tremendous
confluence of diverse but
convergent elements and
resources. This piece
celebrates the power,
energy, and boundless
spirit created by this
convergence of cultures,
beliefs, and ideals.
