Mr. President. in the last 100 years America has made great strides toward achieving real equality in our society. We can be proud that we have ended a shameful history of intolerance: no more Jim Crow. lynchings. or socalled literacy tests to vote. No more signs saying "Whites Only" and "No Irish Need Apply." But though we have traveled far. we still have far to go. In Michigan. a ChineseAmerican was bludgeoned to death with a baseball bat. In Oregon. skinheads attacked and killed an Ethiopian man. again. the weapon was a baseball bat. In Howard Beach. NY. a young black man was struck by a car and died after being chased onto a busy parkway by a mob of white youths.
