American Folklife: A Commonwealth of Cultures (The American Folklife Center, Library of Congress)...

Traditional American culture and our American way of life is a mix of many different cultures brought here by early immigrants. While it is acceptable to celebrate your own personal cultural in your home or community where you live and work, it is not acceptable to force your culture on others. The fact that we can work together and still maintain our identity in neighborhoods across America is a testament to understanding and even acceptance. This is what is meant by our President saying lets make America Great Again. Accepting others and their cultures without giving up our own American identity. President Roosevelt said; “In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”
