New citizens

On March 31, I was privileged to see 174 new citizens from 33 countries take the oath of citizenship in a moving ceremony.

I couldn’t help thinking, even during this horrible political season, how much we have to be proud of and grateful for in this constantly amazing country.

Michelle Robinson Gersten,

Miami
