Bill Clinton

“ We will win our freedom because the sacred heritage of our nation and the eternal will of God are embodied in our echoing demands.
As I begin my second term as the last President of the 20th century, I ask each American to work with me to usher in a new era of hope, reconciliation, and fellowship among all our people-rich and poor, young and old, and men and women of every race. I urge all Americans to put intolerance behind us, seek common ground, and strive for justice and community in our Nation. ”

“ Every citizen must rise to meet that challenge because America's promise of freedom and opportunity cannot truly be realized for any of us until it is realized for every one of us. We all have an obligation to reach out to one another-across the artificial barriers of race, gender, religion, class, and age-so that each member of our society shares fully in the promise of the American Dream. ”

“ Although ours is the most successful multiracial, multicultural society in human history, in the words of Dr. King, "our work is not yet done." We have not yet fully realized Dr. King's dream of a Nation of full opportunity, genuine equality, and consistent fair play for all. ”
