They have the right not to be afraid to be who they are and to express themselves in any way they see fit. Some of the most popular ways are poems, speeches and simply practicing their original culture. A Japanese-American woman named Kesaya E.

Americans are allowed to use their freedom to express themselves while continuing to practice their past cultures. America is made up of thousands of different cultures, and America allows people to practice those cultures. Many Americans practice their culture through food, prayer, dance, and other personal traditions. Freedom of self-expression allows people to try and experience multiple cultures.
