In Depth: Man walks across the U.S. to find out what it means to be an American

Constantino Diaz-Duran is working on a project, sponsored by the Arizona State University Center for Social Cohesion, to literally walk across the United States (from New York to LA) to seek out the answer to the question: Being American – what does it mean for you?

Setting out on his journey today, Diaz-Duran will walk across the U.S. over the next eight months to gauge people's thoughts about being an American today.

He joins American Morning this morning to talk about his trip and what it means to him from his starting off point, the First Avenue Coffee Shop on New York City's Upper East Side.
