Roland Fryer on America
Common Sense | Bari Weiss
In honor of July 4th, Bari Weiss and her colleagues asked individuals whom they admire what they love about America. One of these individuals is Harvard’s Roland Fryer.
“In one generation, whether you are an immigrant from Asia or a sharecropper’s grandson, America is a place where you can accomplish whatever you set your mind to,” Fryer explains. “This stunning trait—the dispensing of opportunity regardless of the hue of your skin or the rhythm of your accent—is what makes me most proud to be an American.”
Yeonmi Park, Liel Leibovitz, Joseph Massey, David Sabatini and Lulu Cheng Meservey also weigh in.
