  Expressing support for a National Week of Reflection and Tolerance.

Whereas America is a pluralistic country comprised of different races, genders, 
        ethnic groups, religions, and creeds;
Whereas our Nation, founded on the principles of tolerance, diversity, justice, 
        and equality, should affirm these common values and principles; and
Whereas Americans should reflect on the importance of understanding and 
        tolerance in our pluralistic country: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That a National Week of Reflection and Tolerance should 
be established encouraging communities and institutions around the 
Nation to engage in events and activities that are reflective, 
educational, celebratory, and healing as they relate to diversity among 
Americans.
