My First American

Though many of us were born here - somone in our family was either born elsewhere or had to struggle to beome a fully accepted member of our society. This is an opportunity to tell the story of the first American in your family through a small work of poetry, an essay, a painting or other artwork. Where did they come from? Why did they leave? How did they manage the journey? Who did they leave behind?
