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.
