The other day, a few children saw this picture and they asked me why I had it. I told them because I like the picture. It shows that we are all connected and we are all equal.
This was their response:
"It doesn't matter what color you are."
"We can all do the same things."
"We can all be in the same class and play the same games."
Later on, I was talking to the children about Black History Month. This is what one child had to say:
"Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks took a stand, and even though they got in trouble sometimes, they made life better today for black people, white people, and tan people, because now we are all equal."
It made me so proud to hear these words out of the mouths of five-year-olds. It is amazing how intelligent and caring they are already and I can't wait to see what they have to bring to the future.
