THE PROGRAMS AND THEIR PURPOSE
The “Americans All—Immigrants All” programs are designed to promote a
more appreciative understanding of our growing American culture through
the dramatization of the contributions made by the many groups which are
a part of it. What brought people to this country from the four corners
of the earth? What gifts did they bear? What were their problems? What
problems remain unsolved? This series dramatically presents the story of
“Americans All—Immigrants All.”
