Have you ever been to a naturalization ceremony? It’s really quite moving. People from all parts of the world stand together and take the Oath of Allegiance to the United States.
People who do so have put some time and effort into it and you will rarely see happier folk. It’s a very moving thing to witness.
On Monday, there will be a swearing in, most likely in Boston, with a very promising new American: the NBA’s Enes Kanter.
Kanter has been through a lot. A vocal critic of Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdou011fan, he cannot go home and family members have been harassed and, we think, detained if not imprisoned.
