My America: John Leguizamo
All this week, in honor of Independence Day, we’re airing a series of reports titled My America. We’ll be speaking to leading figures in politics, culture, media and the arts, and we’re asking what being American means to them. We’ve also had quite a few listeners – as well as our producers and hosts – weigh in! This is the contribution from John Leguizamo, Golden Globe-nominated actor, currently starring in the one-man Broadway show “Ghetto Klown,” which is running through July 10th.
The story you just read is available to read for free because thousands of listeners and readers like you generously support our nonprofit newsroom. Every day, the reporters and producers at The World are hard at work bringing you human-centered news from across the globe. But we can’t do it without you: We need your support to ensure we can continue this work for another year.
When you make a gift of $10 or more a month, we’ll invite you to a virtual behind-the-scenes tour of our newsroom to thank you for being with The World.
