THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA REMAINS A LAND OF IMMIGRANTSAndrew Carnegie founded Carnegie Corporation of New York in 1911, one of more than twenty organizations established by this immigrant from Scotland dedicated to the advancement and diffusion of knowledge and understanding in the areas that Carnegie considered

of paramount importance: international peace, education and teaching, science and technology, scholarship, civic engagement, and the integration of immigrants into American society. Each Fourth of July, Carnegie Corporation of New York salutes its founder’s legacy, along with the contributions of the millions of other immigrants who have made, and continue to make, our nation strong and vibrant. We are committed to helping immigrants become a part of the civic fabric of our nation because enlightened citizenship is the strength of our democracy. Our

nation’s motto—“E Pluribus Unum” (Out of Many, One)—remains an inspiration we can all aspire to and a guiding light for our nation.
