IF THIS PA GE WERE
ALL WHITE 0 R ALL BLACK,
YOU COULDN 'T READ IT.
IT TAKES BOTH BLACK AND WHITE TO GIVE IT MEANING.
If you think one race or religion or culture is the only one that's
valid, you're wrong. Today we depend on each other for almost
everything. Prejudice is something America can live without.
When we finally realize just how dependent we all are on each
other, we can begin to stop hating what's different about us and
start enjoying the benefits of those differences.
But you can't order someone to stop being prejudiced...it's up
to each of us to stop. And to help others to stop.
For 85 years the Anti-Defamation League has been working to
stop prejudice and educate people to the values of diversity and
equality for Americans of every description. Please help.
Yes! I want to help ADL further its vital program and projects.
