Not Perfect, But Perfectible

America is not just a past; it is also a future. It is not just an actuality — it is always a potentiality.

Marcia McNutt & Judy Woodruff: A Conversation

Two trailblazing women sit down for a freewheeling chat.

Immigrants know America is not perfect, but see it as perfectible. For us, America is not just a past; it is also a future. It is not just an actuality — it is always a potentiality.
