Race Relations in America

Sen. Bradley, considered by many to be a potential Democratic presidential candidate in 1992, discussed the state of race relations in America. He reflected on his days as a professional basketball player playing with and against blacks, and stressed the necessity for all races to realize their dependence on each other to create a strong and vibrant nation. He responded to questions from the audience on racial tensions in America, and his July 10 speech on the floor of the Senate concerning the use of racial tensions by the Bush administration for political gain.
