Unprovoked acts of hatred, violence and prejudice were perhaps easier to identify in the 1930's. Our Afro-American citizens were the "target" of these hate-filled acts. 

Although we may say to ourselves "How awful, how unfair. How can a human being treat another person that way?" ask yourself how many times you have laughed when someone has made an ethnic comment about Hispanics. Do you make derogatory remarks about other people who are "different" than you are (homosexuals, mentally challenged individuals, people who appear to have little money)?

Maybe your acts are not as violent and certainly the outcome is not nearly as tragic and final, but challenge yourself to treat each other with love and respect.

Yes, the stories in the news are different from the 1930's, world geographic boundaries have changed, and the world has grown! One thing, however, remains constant ~ and that is that every individual is valuable and possesses unique talents and gifts to share. The contribution of ALL peoples will make our world a better place.
