Not Just Some, But All

God Bless America and save us all; not just "your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free" . . . but also save the descendants of those former slaves, brought here against their will to help fulfill the dreams and cultivate the land of those who yearned to breathe free.
