The person I choose that best describes what America means to me is Ed Bradley. Ed Bradley was an African American reporter best known for his work on the news show Sixty Minutes. The reason I chose him is because even though the deck was always stacked against him in his life, he still worked hard and was able to achieve greatness. He lived in a divorced family, his father lived in Detroit and owned a vending machine business and worked at a restaurant, while his mother lived in Philadelphia with Ed and also worked two jobs.
