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.
