It is change that can broaden opportunity or widen inequality. And whether we like it or not. the pace of this change will only accelerate. America has been through big changes before: wars and depression. the influx of new immigrants. workers fighting for a fair deal. and movements to expand civil rights. Each time. there have been those who told us to fear the future. who claimed we could slam the brakes on change. who promised to restore past glory if we just got some group or idea that was threatening America under control. and each time. we overcame those fears. We did not. in the words of Lincoln. adhere to the "dogmas of the quiet past." Instead. we thought anew and acted anew.
