In late 1991, Dennis Prager launched the Micah Center for Ethical Monotheism. He wrote then:
The purpose of the activist educational center is to have “a place of activity” devoted to his life’s mission of spreading ethical monotheism through every available means. One of its first programs will be “Dinners in Black and White” to combat racism on a grassroots level by allowing otherwise unacquainted blacks and whites to eat in each other’s homes. Other aims are to develop ethics curricula for parochial and private schools; to defend Western culture against the “lies” propagated by multiculturalists; to battle religious extremism – as evinced by Khomeini-like Islamic fundamentalism; and to counter “secular extremism…”
On July 19, 2013, Dennis Prager said: “Years ago, I wanted to start something called ‘Dinners in Black and White’ where people from different races got together and had dinner. One of the reasons that I didn’t go forward with the program was that I was warned by lawyers that if something happened at one of these homes, I, the organizer, would be sued. Law has been a vehicle for the decline of our society. If somebody tripped, if somebody had food poisoning, if somebody got into an argument, I, the organizer, might’ve been sued into bankruptcy.”
