"We Americans are a diverse people, and part of our respect for the dignity of the human being is respect for his and her right to be different. That means different in background, different in beliefs, different in customs, different in name and different in religion. That is true Americanism; that is true democracy. It is the source of our strength. It is the basis of our faith in the future. And it is the hope of the world." |
