This is our family. This is our neighborhood. This is our city. This is our home. I want to share with you how we've been taking care of our home by making it safer, making it healthier, making it stronger.
People say that home is where the heart is.
My heart certainly is here in Atlanta. But I also believe home is a place where hope waits for all of us. As we approach the 21st century, many challenges lie ahead. But Atlanta has been given tremendous gifts-a history of great leadership, a tradition of great partnerships, and the honor of hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Games. I challenge all of us to use these gifts, to tend to our home, to grow it, to leave a legacy for our children and our future.
