What does it mean to you to be an American? That’s the question Morning Shift is asking as part of A Nation Engaged, a collaboration with NPR and other public radio stations across the country.
Morning Shift talks to Alexandra Filindra, assistant professor of political science at the University of Illinois at Chicago, about that key question, American values and how the idea of American citizenship has changed — and stayed the same — over the years. We also take calls from listeners.
