“Prejudice has an intractable tenacity. It yields not to logic and only slowly to learning. Racial reconciliation requires a response more spirital than cerebral. Man lost the power to communicate, we are told, at the Tower of Babel, where each, wanting to be God, sought to elevate
himself above the rest. We’ll regain it, perhaps, when we learn to humble ourselves and feel the misery and longing that lies beneath the skins of others–whatever their color”

Jim Wright–Former Speaker of the House of Represenatives

Nice article Jack- straight from the heart. I kept this quote on every bulletin board I had in every community I worked in for the City of Los Angeles. It helped me find the kindness we count upon, hidden in everyone.
