We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created
equal, that they are endowed by their
creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life , liberty, &
the pursuit of happiness . . .
![Page 5: The American Dream. A Unit on Civil Liberties & Civil Rights.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e7e5503460f94b812fe/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice,
insure domestic tranquillity, provide for the common
defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the
blessing of liberty to ourselves and our posterity . . .

Identify the American dream,
as indicated in the previous two documents . . .

For whom was the American
Dream originally intended?
![Page 8: The American Dream. A Unit on Civil Liberties & Civil Rights.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e7e5503460f94b812fe/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
How does the depiction of the Dream in the
following poem differ from the dream depicted in the Constitution & Declaration?
![Page 9: The American Dream. A Unit on Civil Liberties & Civil Rights.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e7e5503460f94b812fe/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Let my land be a land where Liberty
Is crowned with no false patriotic wreath,
But opportunity is real, and life is free,
Equality is in the air we breathe . . .
I am the poor white, fooled & pushed apart,
I am the Negro bearing slavery’s scars,
I am the red man driven from the land,
I am the immigrant clutching the hope I seek,
But finding the same old stupid plan
Of dog eat dog, of might crush the weak . . .
I am the people, humble, hungry, mean . . .
Desperate despite the dream . . .

The Constitution and the Bill of Rights, plus the actions of the judicial, legislative, and executive branches protect the American Dream of its citizens through Civil Rights and Civil Liberties of all Americans. It is important to note that when America was created, many groups were excluded from being recognized as citizens, but the Constitution, courts and Congress have slowly recognized the rights of most groups in the United States. The story of the American Dream involves three parts:
•A group coming to America in search of their definition of the American dream, and their original treatment in this country by the US government
•A group reacting to their initial treatment in the country and fighting to gain their rights & liberties
•The US government reacting to the movements by the various groups
![Page 11: The American Dream. A Unit on Civil Liberties & Civil Rights.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e7e5503460f94b812fe/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Before we view stage one of the American Dream for several groups, we must
differentiate between civil rights & civil
liberties . . .
![Page 12: The American Dream. A Unit on Civil Liberties & Civil Rights.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e7e5503460f94b812fe/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Civil Rights: rights that the government may not deny or infringe on because of the race, gender, national origin, age, or ethnicity of an individual.
Civil Liberties: freedoms that the government must respect, such as the freedom of speech, press, and assembly that are guaranteed under the US Constitution, legislation, or judicial interpretation.

From 1892 - 1924, more than 16 million
people passed through Ellis Island with the
goal of achieving the American Dream . . .

Many immigrants’ names were changed by American officials as the
immigrants passed through Ellis Island.
One immigrant penned these thoughts:
![Page 21: The American Dream. A Unit on Civil Liberties & Civil Rights.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649e7e5503460f94b812fe/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Prospective Immigrants, Please Note: Either you will go
through this door, or you will not go through. The
inscription on the liberty bell calls to you . . . Proclaim
liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof. But will you be
allowed to be free? Or only to labor in vain after your name
has been changed?

Most Chinese immigrants came through Angel Island near San Francisco; many were detained there for months, even years, before they were released into the states . . .

There are tens of thousands of poems on these walls
They are all cries of suffering and sadness
The day I am rid of this prison and become successful
I must remember that this chapter once existed
Sketched on the wall of Angel Island Detention Center

Will you teach your children as we have taught our children? That the earth is our mother? This we know; the earth does not
belong to man, man belongs to the earth . . . Man did not weave the web of life, he merely
is a strand in it . . . What will happen when the secret corners of the earth are heavy with the
scent of man and the view of the hills is blotted by talking wires? Where will the
cricket be? GONE. Where will the eagle be? GONE. And what is it to say goodbye to the
swift pony and the hunter? The end of living. The Beginning of survival . . .
