Political and religious leaders spoke at the 45th annual prayer breakfast. Dr. Ben Carson, the featured speaker, talked about the challenges of anger and social isolation of young African-American males, and how he, as a young African-American male, had succeeded with the help of others. President Clinton urged the audience to pray for those in the breach, a phrase from the book of Isaiah which he used in his inaugural and State of the Union addresses. Other speakers included, Rep. Bill Barrett R-Nebraska, Vice President Al Gore, Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, Senator Dan Coats R-Indiana and a performance by opera singer Denyce Graves. close
