America is divided. Period.
In a country so divided, it s up to us, We the People, to unite America, even if it requires one-on-one conversations. It s worth it, my fellow Americans, for the sake of the unity of this great country which we all call our home.
Let me share one of my own personal stories that keeps reminding me why we are here in America. I came to the United States from India over 35 years ago. Two white people (husband and wife) I never met before invited me for dinner at their house in Wausau last year. As I was about to leave, the wife said, I heard you have been selected to receive a prestigious national FBI award (the only one from Wisconsin) from the FBI director Christopher Wray in Washington, D.C. Congratulations! It will be a great honor for me and my husband to go with you to D.C. and join your family as you receive this award.
