Multiracial Solidarity March

At the 1996 Multiracial Solidarity March, Byrd phrased the multiracial ideal as a future of racelessness through assimilation into the American mainstream insofar as the multiracial identifier [is] one to which the vast majority of Americans could eventually drift, effectively neutralizing the concept of race. More about this historic event and Byrd s central role there appears later in this chapter. An archive of selected speeches displaying a more or less consistent roll-call of conservative commentary is available online at http //www.webcom.com/ intvoice/speech.html.
