To be included in this list, the person must have a Wikipedia article and/or references showing the person is Irish American.
At least 22 presidents of the United States have some Irish ancestral origins, [90] although the extent of this varies. For instance, President Clinton claims Irish ancestry despite there being no documentation of any of his ancestors coming from Ireland, while Kennedy has strongly documented Irish origins. Ronald Reagan's great-grandfather was an Irish Roman Catholic. Kennedy and Joe Biden were raised as practicing Catholics.
This article contains information about the literary events and publications of 1973.
This is a list of African Americans, also known as Black Americans or Afro-Americans. African Americans are an ethnic group consisting of citizens of the United States mainly descended from various West African and Central African peoples with possible minor additional ancestry from Europe or indigenous Americans and other regions of Africa. As an ethnic group, African Americans are largely the modern-day descendants of West Africans and Central Africans brought to the US from the Trans-Atlantic slave trade who developed a new and distinct cultural identity during their time in the Americas.
Nationality words link to articles with information on the nation's poetry or literature.
