Manley said she grew up in a time before King's dream was realized at all. "I grew up in Mississippi. I remember picking cotton and cross burnings. These are memories of the 20th century, the same century we went to the moon." "Health Children 2000 is the engine driving the process to improve health care for our children," said Manley. Manley, speaking of the strategies for achieving Healthy Children 2000, said, "We have an action plan one we think will work. This is not a plan to sit on the shelf, but rather an action plan that will be reviewed by progress committees."
