American RadioWorks - A Better Life: Creating the American Dream
The "American dream" has powered the hopes and aspirations of Americans for generations. It began as a plain but revolutionary notion: each person has the right to pursue happiness, and the freedom to strive for a better life through hard work and fair ambition.

And is it changing?...

As the years go by in an adoptive family, the child and the parents discover what early experiences can be undone, relearned or accepted....

American race relations are deeply marked by an era called Jim Crow, a system of legal segregation in the South that lasted from 1890 well into the 1960s.
