“…with liberty and justice for all.” How many times have we read, said or heard those words without considering their significance? These words are our commitment to celebrate the diversity, richness and beauty of the United States’ multicultural heritage.
To fully live out our pledge we must continue to transform our communities into places free from hate and respect for all. In a hate free environment everyone benefits from the opportunities available through interaction with others who have diverse cultures, histories and experiences.
themoreyouknow.com and hatefreezone.org offer opportunities for individual voices to come together and make a difference in communities across the country. The last great road trip team is hoping to raise awareness by encouraging everyone to see the similarities between a wonderfully diverse natural environment and that of a diverse multicultural neighborhood community. Look for the last great road trip team as they drive north and let them know you support hate free communities everywhere.
For talking to your children about prejudice and discrimination see the Anti-Defamation League’s web site.
