Today, we face a renewed effort as the
forces of racism and retrogression in America are again on
the rise. Many of the hard-earned civil rights gains of the
past three decades are under assault.

PRESENCE REFLECTS THAT YOU ARE KEENLY AWARE THAT THE STRUGGLE FOR
TOTAL FREEDOM IS NOT OVER. YOUR PRESENCE ALSO DEMONSTRATES THAT
YOUR DEEP CONCERN CAUSES YOU TO RESPOND IN A TANGIBLE WAY TO ENCOURAGE
OTHERS TO CONTINUE THE FIGHT. YOUR PRESENCE FURTHER ANNOUNCES THAT

IN THE ON, GOING EFFORT TO ADVANCE ALL PEOPLE BEYOND THEIR OWN SELFISH
IDEAS. WE MUST REMAIN CONSCIOUS OF THE FACT THAT INJUSTICE ANYWHERE

EQUALITY AMONG ALL PEOPLE.
