I want to say to the children of the difficult neighborhoods: Whatever their origin, they are all daughters and sons of the republic, ... We will construct nothing durable without respect. We will construct nothing durable if we allow the growth, wherever they originate, of racism, insults, abuse. We will construct nothing if we do not combat the poison to society that is discrimination.
