| We are one |
One way to put a halt to racism is to gather
like-minded people together, provide them with message boards, a walking path
and police escort, and then have the citizens bring the message of unity to
their community.
On Saturday, March 23, 2013, I had the privilege of joining friends, family and acquaintances on a walk to stop racism. I bundled
myself in a chicken costume and carried a sign that read “Don’t Be Chicken…Stop
Racism”. My friend Wendy and I marched with other passionate
folks whose message that crisp day was to say that we are one people, one race, filled with hope
that skin colour will become as commonly accepted as eye colour where it
matters not in the eye of the beholder.
Personally, when I meet people, I look into their eyes and search for their existence there. What I find is someone looking back at me and my hope is that they like what they see.
I was humming a song as we strolled along.
♫ We are drops of one ocean,
We are leaves of one tree,
Come and join us in our quest for unity,
It’s a way of life for you and me.
We are flowers of one garden,
We are pearls of one sea,
Come and join us in our quest for unity,
It’s a way of life for you and me.
All the world is one country,
Man is one, can’t you see,
Come and join us in our quest for unity,
It’s a way of life for you and me. ♫
