“Our strength lies in our freedom to choose. There is
strength even in our very diversity. But there is greater strength in the
God-given mandate to each of us to work for the uplift and blessing of all His
sons and daughters, regardless of their ethnic or national origin or other
differences. May the Lord bless us to work unitedly to remove from our hearts
and drive from our society all elements of hatred, bigotry, racism, and other
divisive words and actions. The snide remark, the racial slur, hateful
epithets, malicious gossip, and mean and vicious rumor-mongering should have no
place among us. May God bless us all with the peace that comes from Him. May He
bless us with thankful hearts and with the will to mingle together with respect
one for another, uniting our efforts to the blessing of the communities where
we are fortunate to live.” – President Gordon B. Hinckley
