The Foundation for Ethnic Understanding announced a new campaign—the September 11th National Campaign for Ethnic Tolerance—at a reception at the Fifth Avenue townhouse of Mona Ackerman. For their efforts in build-ing bridges to cement better ethnic relations, Johnnie Cochran, Sanford Rubenstein, and Maurice Kochs (on behalf of PepsiCo) received glass sculpture trophies—half black and half white, meeting in a symbolic bridge. The foundation has enlisted Stevie Wonder to appear in TV commercials for the campaign, in which he plainly states the case: “Unite against racism and hatred—otherwise, the whole world is destined for tragedy.”
