The United States is not limited to New York and Hollywood. Throughout the news and the travels of the correspondent of RTL, Lionel Gendron, the Letter from America takes us to sometimes lesser-known, but still fascinating states, which often say a lot about this country.
the Texas, the second largest American state after Alaska, is in this respect at the heart of the major current issues facing the country. Immigration or its recent law limiting access to abortion regularly places it at the heart of the news. L’Arizona, which shares a border with Mexico, is also an important location for illegal immigration. From 1992 to 2017, Joe Arpaio was nicknamed “America’s toughest sheriff”.
The two Dakotas (north and south), better known for their wide open spaces, are also a political land. The North will thus have given one of the most important president in the history of the country: Theodore Roosevelt, when the South he will exhibit it, alongside George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln on Mount Rushmore, a major American pilgrimage site.
