On Friday, September 18, 1998, the Advisory Board to the President's Initiative on Race concluded its work and presented its final recommendations to President Clinton. Their report, One America in the 21st Century: Forging a New Future, gives members of the Advisory Board an opportunity to share with the President their observations on what they saw and heard about race and its impact upon communities throughout the country. The Board report also offers recommendations on specific steps that should be taken to eliminate racial disparities experienced by people of color.
