"What Alexis de Tocqueville saw in America was a society of immigrants, each of whom started anew on an equal footing. This was the secret of America--a nation of people with the memory of old traditions still fresh but building anew--people who came eager to build lives for themselves in a country that would allow them to do so." From "A Nation of Immigrants," by President John F. Kennedy
JF 103--A NATION OF IMMIGRANTS. John F. Kennedy. 40 pp. 50c. A survey of the forty million people who have come here, why they left their original homes, what they did when they arrived here and, how they became part of the American scene. President Kennedy also appraises our immigration policy and makes suggestions for adjustments in our laws. Illustrated with photographs from museum collections and accompanied by a 17" x 22" ethnographic map for display. One Nation Library. Teacher guide.
FB 1--STRANGERS--THEN NEIGHBORS: From Pilgrims to Puerto Ricans. Clarence Senior. 88 pp. 95c.

Discusses behavior patterns of and toward immigrant groups, outlining several programs for creating better opportunities for the "strangers" who have become our "neighbors." Includes a special appendix, "How The Schools Can Help," and a photograph section on life in Puerto Rico. Dr. Senior is a former consultant to the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and is currently a member of the N. Y. City Board of Education. Freedom Book.
