AFTERMATH OF WAR: The International Front : Words on the Gulf
“We African-Americans disproportionately provided the forces that made possible the swift American victory in the Persian Gulf. And now, with the military statistics still clear in the national mind, we want and deserve something back. Peace without equal opportunity is peace in chains. President Bush should initiate a new civil rights bill that unequivocally restores the so-called ‘inalienable’ rights of justice in the job arena, freedom from discrimination and a widening of economic opportunity.”
--A. LEE HENDERSON, publisher, African Methodist Episcopal Church Publishing House
