They left that heritage because they had a vision -- not only of
what the nation was, but of what it could become.
As I think of that vision, I recall that America was founded as
the land of the open door -- as a haven for the oppressed, a land of
opportunity, a place of refuge and of hope.
When the first settlers opened the door of America three and a
half centuries ago, they came to escape persecution and to find oppor-
tunity -- and they left wide the door of welcome for others to follow.
When the thirteen colonies declared their independence almost
two centuries ago, they opened the door to a new vision of liberty and
of human fulfillment -- not just for an elite, but for all.
To the generations that followed, America's was the open door
that beckoned millions from the old world to the new in search of a
better life, a freer life, a fuller life, in which by their own decisions
they could shape their own destinies. They came to find opportunity
for themselves and to ensure it for their children.
For the black American, the Indian, the Medican-American, and
for those others in our land who have been oppressed, the nation at last
has begun to confront the need to press open the door of full and equal
opportunity, and of human dignity.
