Thank you for your thoughtful, cogent and coherent summarization of the history of America's struggle with "the other;" and our tendency as Americans to not appreciate that we all come from ancestors who were, at one time, "the other." What I think we are missing in this country is a push to bring resources to all Americans, both the multi-generational members of this country, as well as the new. Instead ,our society pushes consumerism and political pablum over honest debate and goal setting. But after 75 years of TV and fast food, perhaps I am hoping for too much. It will take more than a village; it will take a nation engaging in honest dialogue about values and goals. The question is how to do this in our fractured, instagram society. Best to you
