A few months ago, native New Yorker Jackie Summers posted a photo on Facebook and Twitter that shows a Jewish Hasidic man and his wife sitting on a New York City subway car next to a Muslim woman in hijab holding a baby.

Caption read: “A Taoist (me) gives up his seat so a Hasidic couple could sit together. They scoot over so a Muslim mother could sit and nurse her baby, on Easter Sunday. This is my America: people letting people be people.”

The picture also fits pretty well in what Apple CEO Tim Cook tweeted to wish everyone a happy Independence Day.

Cook was referring to this particular quote from former President Franklin D. Roosevelt: "Remember, remember always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists."
