Stranger on the Home Front

Its 1916, and Margaret Singh thinks nothing of the war in Europe or the cause of Indian independence. Both struggles seem an ocean away from her home in California. That is, until the United States enters the war, her father is arrested, and her own allegiances are called into question.

Its 1916, and Europe is at war. Yet Margaret Singh, living an entire ocean away in California, is unaffected. Then the United States enters the war against Germany. Suddenly the entire country is up in arms against those who seem un-American or speak against the countrys ally, Great Britain. When Margarets father is arrested for his ties to the Ghadar Party, a group of Indian immigrants seeking to win Indias independence from Great Britain, Margarets own allegiances are called into question. But she was born in America and America itself fought to be freed from British rule. So what does it even mean to be American?

Its the storytellers that preserve a nations history. But what happens when some stories are silenced? The I Am America series features fictional stories based on important historical events about people whose voices have been excluded, lost, or forgotten over time.
