Denied their fundamental rights, each of them, in his or her own way, chose to fight for equality, freedom, and justice overseas and at home. These seven men and women represent millions of Americans who joined the national war effort because they believed in the promise of democracy in America. In the face of adversity, they took action to expand the fundamental rights and freedoms of all Americans.</p> <p><b>Who is the “we” in “we, the people?”</b></p> Question 1: Who is the “we” in “we, the people?” Thu, 21 Apr 2005 18:33:10 -0700
