Defending the American Dream
GUARANTEED SAFE CHECKOUT
From the Publisher: An Insider's Look at How Sweet It Is: Embracing and Defending the American Dream
In 1963, amidst the peak of the U.S. civil rights movement, my father made the journey from Jamaica to America on August eleventh. It was a tumultuous and challenging time for us, and I still remember asking him, "Why did you come here?" His response was simple yet profound - he came because America offered the promise of jobs and opportunities. With just one dollar and seventy-five cents in his pocket, he embarked on this new chapter in his life.
Determined to make a better life for himself, my father took on any job he could find. He worked tirelessly to put himself through school, all in pursuit of his American Dream. Today, he has reached a point where he can comfortably enjoy his retirement, a testament to his hard work and perseverance.
