Book excerpt: Introduced by Mr. Earl Harris, Governor Kean speaks about the role that church leaders play in setting the political and moral agenda in the United States. He tells his audience that Black clergymen have led the way in promoting equality, opportunity and justice in New Jersey since the late 19th century. Governor Kean also mentions an affirmative action sensitivity plan for his administration and the creation of the Office of Minority Business Enterprise, the Governor's Council on Minority Business Development and the Corporation for Business Assistance. He further states that New Jersey's Urban Development Corporation was then the only one of its kind in the country. He believes that "economic growth is the flip side to social justice." Education, economic opportunity and political power translate into an equation which for Governor Kean is a key to realizing the potential of the Black community in New Jersey over the succeeding twenty years.
