About a year ago, the NY Times (fish wrap) came out with a scathing editorial about how the National Park System was making far too little effort for out-reach to the non-white population of these United States. Said editorial discussed methods of increasing minority attendance and finished with this ending about an excellent subject of such encouragement;

We need to inspire people like Jordan Quiller, a 21-year-old African-American who had never seen a mountain until he moved into one of the Rainier-monikered Seattle neighborhoods at the end of last year. He’s never visited a national park, but would like to.
Three national parks lie within a three-hour drive of Seattle. “It takes a little planning,” Mr. Quiller said. “I just haven’t gotten around to it.”
I hope the National Park Service and its partners are listening.

Obviously, now, the "Bully Pulpit" of the Presidency will be engaged and the TOTUS will speak to the under-served, inviting them to join their oppressors in nature!
