Who am I?: The Key to Identity is Through Family Story

In the United States of America more and more of the nation’s inhabitants are increasingly becoming assimilated in the American culture which is leaving some individuals struggling to retain what is left of their ethnical history. As generations pass on more citizens of the United States are becoming less likely to fully understand where their families are truly from. Sometimes people know so little of their heritage that all that they are able to maintain is the knowledge that they have learned from what society has bestowed upon them. An example of such knowledge can be seen with what racial group an individual has been identified with. Now it is up to todays generation to learn about their family's story in order for tomorrow's generation to know who they really are.
