"Despite first slavery and then segregation, Afro-Americans have overcome seemingly insurmountable odds to be at the cutting edge of change and progress in American society."

"The President today announced his intention to nominate Ivan Selin to be Under Secretary of State for Management."

"This month gives us all a chance to reflect on how much Afro-Americans have contributed."

"Bob Mosbacher is the right man to do the job that has to be done."
