| | Franklin and E Pluribus Unum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11) |
 | | Although the Great Seal of today is not the same as the one presented to congress on August 20, 1776, by Franklin, Adams, and Jefferson, it does nevertheless contain the motto, E Pluribus Unum, as recommended by those three founding fathers. |
 | | The national motto, E Pluribus Unum, (Latin for: out of many, one), which is inscribed on the Great Seal, and appears on the back of our coins, was officially adopted by congress on June 20, 1782. |
 | | WHAT CAN BE Parents, educators, and business leaders can do their part by reminding youth and employees about the national motto's meaning, and how intolerance, prejudice, and other forms of hatred undermine its purpose. |
