ââ¬Â¢ If elected President, what, if anything, would you do to initiate discussions about race and America's past history of slavery among all Americans, not just people of African ancestry?

JOE LIEBERMAN: ââ¬ÅAs I have throughout my career in public life, I will make the unfinished fight for equal opportunity a central priority of my presidency. I will use my bully pulpit to focus our resolve on making good on the unpaid promissory note Dr. King described. And then I will take aggressive steps to confront the enduring racial inequities in our society ââ¬â by helping minority-run small businesses to create jobs, targeting aid to our poorest public schools, ending disparities in health care, and promoting economic self-sufficiency through innovative tools like Individual Development Accounts.ââ¬Â
