Celebrating global citizenship on the Fourth of July

The World

While today’s Fourth of July will remind many of us of what it means to be an American, for a handful, the national holiday will pay tribute to only one of several citizenships. More and more Americans are electing to obtain dual citizenship derived from their European ancestry.
Guests: Martin Flaherty, Fordham Law School, and Peter Spiro, a law professor at Temple University, talk about the growing appeal of European citizenships.
