What About Racial Prejudice?

The incalculable loss of human potential is damaging not only to the individual, but to the nation as a whole. We should leave no stone unturned to restore the faith and hope of achievement to those who have suffered racial prejudice.

Why has this happened? There is a universal law that we strengthen what we oppose. When soul groups want a boost to their evolution, an increase in strength; they volunteer to be in such a position. It is in honoring the gifts of diversity that we can best help restore the dignity of the downtrodden. Though significant strides in the right direction have been made over the last few decades, much remains to be done.

” …Though much is taken, much remains… ”
