When Janet Reno asked all of us to do whatever we can to help reduce prejudice in our world and to encourage peaceful resolution of conflicts, I knew I had to say something on a wallpaper.
Only I didn't know what to say.

So that's what I did on the wallpaper.
I was once asked by a racist if I'd rather have a white neighbor or a black neighbor. I told the truth then too. I said, "I'll take the good neighbor, thank you."
Racists deny themselves that option.

Services will be at 3 p.m.
Prejudice is ignorance because it denys the prejudiced person the ability to choose the best in the field. If you can't choose the best you lose out to those who can. See?
