Pace e Bene – 11 March 2024

“We’re faced with such division in our country, but where does that start? It starts very young. So I believe that it’s important, just like Dr. King did, that our kids have an opportunity to learn about one another: to grow together, play together, learn together. The most time that kids spend away from home is in school, so our schools have to be integrated. And I know that there are arguments on both sides about that, but we’re never going to become the United States of America unless we, the people, are united.”—Ruby Bridges, on the re-segregation of schools across the US
