Massachusetts' Commonwealth Compact: Extending Diversity's Embrace

An overview of the Commonwealth Compact, the latest Boston chapter in the evolving American project of e pluribus unum. Commonwealth Compact has adopted the following mission statement:

To establish Massachusetts as a uniquely inclusive, honest and supportive community of -- and for -- diverse people. To acknowledge our mixed history in this effort, and to face squarely the challenges that still need to be overcome, understanding that the rich promise of the region's growing diversity must be tapped fully if Boston and Massachusetts are to achieve their economic, civic and social potential.
