Dr. Maya Angelou
There are many different ways to express patriotism, and Dr. Angelou says it's important to recognize the common themes of pride Americans have. From working hard to achieve the American dream to recognizing the ancestors who came to America before them, people from across the country share their stories of love for their nation. Plus, Dr. Angelou talks about how first- and second-generation Americans can keep strong ties to their families' ethnic roots and at the same time proclaim their pride for America.
