Brilliant and profound quotations on diversity. ‘Gloria’ couldn’t have said it any better. She is the real deal when it comes to diversity. Thank you, Charles French.

A Teacher's Reflections 
This is all so true, and something we need to do ourselves, and to teach our children and grandchildren to do as well. These are difficult times in society, and it behoves us to put out extra efforts to do everything we can to bring about balance in the way people are treating each other once again. Thank you kindly.
Well said, Anne!
These quotes are perfect!
I thought so, too!
So pertinent to today!
Yes, indeed!
I live in a neighborhood with all kinds of people, so the stores and library are all full of all kinds of people. For my grandchildren diversity is normal. When I was growing up I only ever saw one kind of people and it has taken me time to appreciate diversity as a result.
I know exactly what you mean, as I grew up the same way. It took me into adulthood to understand and appreciate the diversity in many people. And my grandchildren are lucky enough to have diversity in their everyday lives. Thank you, Elizabeth.
Jennie, thank you so much for the reblogging!
It was a pleasure, Charles. The quotations you post are among the best!
Thank you!
You’re welcome!
Diversity hit me all at once, around 1970. I grew up in a poor part of London, where everyone was white, and British. Then the influx of immigrants and their move into most parts of the UK came as a shock at first. But then we got 24-hour convenience stores, Indian restaurants, and so much more. It only took a very short time for me to appreciate the way that it expanded our minds, and benefited the country.
Best wishes, Pete.
Well said, Pete! Best to you.
