What does it truly mean to be an American? Is it a matter of birthright, constitutional principles, a distinct way of life, or a shared set of values? From the nation’s founding to today, the definition of “American” has constantly evolved, often excluding many. Ultimately, individual identity and national belonging are deeply personal.
A panel of scholars and leaders from different walks of life will delve into these complex questions, exploring diverse perspectives and lived experiences of what it means to call oneself an American.
