“The thing to do, it seems to me, is to prepare yourself so you can be a rainbow in

or speak your language. But be a blessing to somebody. That’s what I think.”
—Maya Angelou
“You have to do your own growing no matter how tall your grandfather was. ”
—Abraham Lincoln

tolerance, and forgiveness. Imagine a
community that shared these
four attributes.
