Commentary Building Bridges with Social Scientists to Combat Employment Discrimination

I wish that I could say that racism and prejudice were only distant memories. I wish I could say that this Nation had traveled far along the road to social justice, and that liberty and equality were just around the bend. . . . But as I look around, I see not a nation of unity, but of division. . . . The legal system can force open doors and sometimes even knock down walls. But it cannot build bridges. That job belongs to you and me. (Thurgood Marshall, 1992) 1
