  Keynote speaker, Sharon Sheffield, a former Lynn Haven mayor and city commissioner, applauded the nation's progress toward racial equality while noting gains still to be made.
  
  She recalled a 1991 visit to Mississippi, in which she and her children were directed outside to a "colored" restroom, and a recent television talk show that featured a child taught by his family to hate African-Americans.
  
  Noting that young people become aware of differences at an early age, Sheffield cited a study that examined the self-concepts of 103 four-year-olds.
  
  "The majority of children were direct in their equation of black with bad or dirty," said Sheffield.
  
  She urged parents, teachers and church leaders to help young people develop "a sense of positive personal identity."
  
  Sheffield encouraged the students to take pride in the historic accomplishments of African-Americans - citing celebrities like Tiger Woods and Port St. Joe's past and present politicians Alton Fennell, Nathan Peters, Jr., Edwin Williams, Christine Williams and Rachel Crews.
  ...
  While taking pride in the past, Sheffield encouraged students to continue the pursuit of racial equality.
  
  "The time is now, the hour has arrived when we must act by coming together in love," said Sheffield.
  
  "We must call for peace around the world."
  
  Attaining that peace, said Sheffield, means denouncing violence, drugs, theft, murder and all of society's corrupting influences.
  
  "We must remember that we must hammer out hate and hammer in love.We must hammer out injustice and hammer in injustice.And we must hammer out inequality and hammer in equality," said Sheffield.
