"The Dream is still alive" -- Walking in the Wind

[delga]

Today was the last day of the school year which is enormously frightening. Mr Luxmoore's leaving was so sad; I was almost (almost) in tears. The end of the year is always painful because although I welcome the holidays, I also mourn the year that's passed.

I'm listening to the last in a three-part series about the American Civil Rights' movement. It's beautiful. It speaks out to me because racism is so rife today that I often want to scream out and ask people "What are you doing? Why are you so cruel? We are all people."

In today's world, we are almost xenophobic and my point is that we shouldn't be. We should be a people. We should be a unit. And we shouldn't tolerate hatred against our people because an assault on them is really an assault on us.

We shall overcome

So here are my statements:

I am a lover of the people of this world

I am a lover of the homosexuals of this world

I am a lover of the women of this world

And I am not ashamed.
