 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.
