The book focuses on the roles of the minorities in America today. It covers the people who immigrated to American from foreign countries, including the Irish, Russian, Spanish, and African Americans. It follows through all the way to the 21st century.

Personal Experience: This book reminded me of the sociology class that I took my first semester in college.

Classroom extension ideas:
1). This book could be used to teach students where their ancestors came from.
2). It could be used as a study on culture differences in people from different countries.
3). It can be used to teach students to respect the differences in other students cultures and families.
