Hoagies' Blog Hop: Tolerance and Equality: Bettering Our World

Tolerance and Equality ~ Bettering Our World. The world is changing every day, but there is so much more change needed. How can we teach our kids what is right and wrong without overwhelming them?

How would you add to the conversation? Submit your own blog here. All voices are welcome.

We saw the photo of little Ruby Nell Bridges in her Mary Jane shoes and carrying her book bag, the first African American child to intergrate a white southern elementary school.
