"To be American is to downplay history in the name of hope, to ignore memory in the cause of possibility. Our greatest truthtellers... remind us that history will haunt us and memory should keep us honest. Let it be said of us centuries from now that we were bold and visionary in our efforts to live with courage and compassion in the face of death, to pursue dialogue over and against the overwhelming odds of misunderstanding and violence and to fight for old and new forms of democracy at the beginning of a century that may well produce new forms of barbarism if we fail to respond to the tests of our time."
