The President's [Clinton's] Initiative on Race
http://clinton4.nara.gov/Initiatives/OneAmerica/america_onrace.html
Quote: "On June 14, 1997, President Clinton announced One America in the 21st Century: The President's Initiative on Race. This Initiative is a critical element in the President's effort to prepare our country to live as one America in the 21st century. He envisions an America based on opportunity for all, responsibility from all, and one community of all Americans. The President recognizes that, even as America rapidly becomes the world's first truly multi-racial democracy, race relations remains an issue that too often divides our nation and keeps the American dream from being real for everyone who works for it."
