The healing, the President said, is necessary as the nation has consistently focused on “contrived fault-lines” that has been “allowed unnecessarily to fester.”

He said, “We need to begin a sincere process of national healing and this anniversary presents a genuine opportunity to eliminate old and outworn perceptions that are always put to test in the lie they always are.”
