We are each part of America ’ s journey .
As we listen to each other ’ s stories , each one of us is enriched . As we share our stories , we understand that our nation is a beautiful tapestry of stories of American journeys . Hearing each other ’ s stories helps us understand one another better and helps defeat the hatred that comes from ignorance .
It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength .
MAYA ANGELOU
We are all that nameless foreigner , that homeless refugee , that hungry boy , that illiterate immigrant and that lynched Black body . All of us , from the first Adams to the last Filipino , native born or alien , educated or illiterate — We are America !
