Along with the battered suitcases and ghost-filled registry hall, I’ve never
forgotten the testimony of an Italian immigrant who spoke for many when
he said “I came to America because I heard the streets were paved with
gold. When I got here, I found out three things: first, the streets weren’t
paved with gold; second, they weren’t paved at all, and third; I was
expected to pave them."
