LETTERS, Page 4Naming Names
Now the Rev. Jesse Jackson wishes to be called an African
American (NATION, Jan. 2). However, as a Hungarian American married
to a British-Canadian American living in a community of Native
Americans, I dream of the day when we are all just considered
Americans. Perhaps if we accentuate our similarities, instead of
our differences, we can destroy the bastions of American racism.

There are recently arrived African Americans here. However,
they are not the same as black Americans, whose forefathers were
brought here by force and made to stay. Jesse, leave this issue
alone. I am a black American.
