What Is An American?
By Harold W. Ruopp, Minister-at-Large
Minnesota Council of Churches
AN AMERICAN is one who believes in the right of men
and women of whatever creed, class, color or ancestry, to
live as human beings with the dignity becoming the chil
dren of God.
AN AMERICAN is one who believes in the right to be
free; free not only from crushing coercions and dictator
ships and regimentation, but free for that way of life where
men may think and speak as they choose and worship God
as they see fit.
AN AMERICAN is one who believes in the right to vote,
the right to work, the right to learn, the right to live, and—
what is equally important—in the right to be different; for
he knows that if we ever lose the right to be different we
lose the right to be free.
AN AMERICAN is one who believes in democracy, not
only for himself but for all his fellow-Americans. By demo
cracy he means not simply the rule of the majority but the
rights of minorities; and those minorities have rights, not
because they are minorities, but because they are human
beings.
AN AMERICAN is one who believes in the responsibility
of privilege. What he asks for himself, he is willing to grant
to others; what he demands from others, he is willing to
give himself. His creed is not alone, “Live and let live,”
but “Live and help live.”
AN AMERICAN is one who acts from faith in others,
not fear of others; from understanding, not prejudice; from
goodwill, not hatred. To bigotry he gives no sanction; to in
tolerance no support.
The only question THE TRUE AMERICAN ever asks is
not, Are you a Protestant or Catholic, Gentile or Jew, white
or colored, but, Are you an American? If you are, then give
me your hand, for I am an American too.

“By getting to know the other fellow, the one who has a different creed,
race, or national origin than yours, by understanding his view point, his
ambitions and goals, you will find old prepudices disappear.”
