Today, Monday January 17, 2011 is Martin Luther King Junior Day. We are all familiar with the history of the Civil Rights moment, and the injustices that minorities faced in the past. Is this prejudice taught? As a child, I just remember playing on the playground. All that mattered that a new potential friend was nice and fun. Although as we get older, many could argue that we forget the simple rules of childhood. Such a simple rule, easily forgotten, the golden rule; treat others as you want to be treated. How much better would the world be if we remembered this rule?
“The good neighbor looks beyond the external accidents and discerns those inner qualities that make all men human and, therefore, brothers." –Strength to Love
