Speech by NY Mayor Rudy Giuliani on October 1, 2001. | Additional Description: Opening remarks to the United Nations General Assembly Special Session on Terrorism.
“Americans are not a single ethnic group.
“Americans are not of one race or one religion.
“Americans emerged from all of your nations.
“We're defined as Americans by our beliefs –
not by our ethnic origins, our race or our
religion. Our belief in religious freedom,
political freedom, economic freedom -
that's what makes an American. Our belief in
democracy, the rule of law, and respect for
human life - that's how you become an
American. It's these very principles - and the
opportunities these principles give to so
many to create a better life for themselves
and their families - that make America, and New
York a 'shining city on a hill.’”
Mayor Rudolph W. Guiliani
