THE FORUM CELBRATES THE LATE BARABARA JORDAN'S COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY IN PUBLIC POLICY AND EDUCATION. A true pioneer, she crafted and articulated an invaluable perspective once absent in American dialogue. Her lifelong commitment to democratic practices opened doors of opportunity for all underrepresented Americans. Her accomplishments are a driving spirit behind the LBJ School of Public Affairs.

America's Mission was and still is to take diversity and mold it into a cohesive and coherent whole that would espouse the virtues and values essential to the maintenance of civil order. There is nothing easy about that mission. But it is not mission impossible.
