Neil Diamond, whose music we've been listening to, here, was born in Brooklyn, New York. All four of his grandparents were Jewish immigrants: his father's side came from Poland, while his mother's family members were from Kyiv, Ukraine.
I got to thinking about people coming from other countries to live in America, since I was talking about Neil Diamond - and also, Maurice Tempelsman - born in Belgium, his parents moved the family to America when the Nazis invaded, during World War II.
I started wondering - there's a quote, "America is a nation of immigrants."
Who said that? -
so I Googled, turns out, it was President Kennedy.
