Excellence is Your Best Weapon for Fighting Racism

The Bible says that "the poor will always be with us." An similar statement is
that racism will always be with us. So, the question is, "What should we do
about it?" There are many ways to fight racism: you might march, protest,
complain, or beg the government for help. Some of these methods have worked well

educational opportunities that are available to you. Poverty should not be an
excuse for not working up to your potential. No matter how poor you think you
are, there is always someone who is poorer.

Please do not be embarrassed by or ashamed of the size your home town. Many
individuals from small towns have become very successful and risen to the top of
their professions. If President Clinton can change his address from Hope,
Arkansas to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D.C., then you know it is
possible to fulfill your aspirations, whatever they might be. President
