Ken Griffey, Jr. Is New Public Diplomacy Envoy
Date: 11/18/2008 Location: Washington, DC Description: Ken Griffey, Jr. is named American Public Diplomacy Envoy by Secretary Rice. © AP PhotoSecretary Rice: "Public diplomacy must be a dialogue. And this dialogue must extend to every citizen in every country, especially to young people. But the job of public diplomacy is not the job of the U.S. Government alone. It has to be shared by all Americans. And I am so very proud that Ken Griffey, Jr., has stepped up to that task of helping us to share the story of America, the culture of America, and the values of America."
