My multifaceted involvement with ADL over many years has profoundly impacted my life, and I’m as determined as ever – especially during the 250th anniversary of the establishment of our nation, a nation like no other – to help ensure that this great experiment in liberty remains a place where hatred finds no safe harbor.”
