American Happyness

You know Chris Gardner's story. The one about being homeless in America, about having to raise his son on the streets, about how he would overcame all odds to become a global cultural icon. You've read the book. You've seen the movie. You've been inspired by Chris Gardner's story. Which is why, this week, on Bookmark, Umapagan Ampikaipakan doesn't talk to Chris Gardner about his now familiar life story but rather about the state of America and her place in the world.
