All My Children has been on the air for 38 years now and the show will continue to thrive with stories of love, passion, betrayal, loss, and triumph that surround the daily lives of many residents of Pine Valley, Pennsylvania.
We want to thank the woman who is responsible for making AMC an enduring legacy on daytime television for over the past 3 decades: the legendary creator of this show, Agnes Nixon.
And that brings me to ask you a very interesting question.
How did Nixon really come up with the title? 
I think it was that she created each and every character on the show, and she considered each one her child, all her children.I read this somewhere, a long while ago, but do not remember where. I could be mistaken.

I have watched AMC since 1979, I was 11 and I think the title comes from a line in poem but I haven't any idea what the name of it is. If I'm not mistaken it has lines that remind me of the inscription on the Statue of Liberty.
