“The growing cultural and racial diversity of America does make
our pursuit of shared values and national goals of crucial
importance. One common goal is the fuller understanding and
appreciation of our diversity. Another is the fuller participation of
all ethnic and minority groups in the civic culture of our country.
The value that Americans of all ethnic groups and races put on
family, educational attainment, honest work, and allegiance to our
constitutional ideals of civil rights and liberties can help make us a
unified people.”
“ . . . America still is, as it has never ceased to be, a country of
pioneers.” - Ashley Montague
“Pioneers go to new places, unknown places, survive under
difficult conditions, make new discoveries, pave the way for
others.”
“I think the United States is the best place in the world for making
dreams come true.” - Jean-Keith Fagon, Publisher, The Hill Rag
“We grow up with the idea that America is a magic place. When
we get here, we find out that what we believed is true. But you
have to make the magic happen yourself, through hard work.”
