Taking a Stand
"What we can do is make sure we take action ourselves
by understanding what racism is and opposing it
wherever we see it, no matter who we are."
As you go about your everyday business, you may see
racism, you may have racist things happen to you or to
people you care about. It is important to know what
racism is and what to do about it; no one should be
treated badly because of how they look, the language
they speak or where their family is from
We need to make sure that children and adults
understand what discrimination is and learn what it is
to treat everybody fairly and equally.
History has shown that changing the law isn't enough
to change attitudes completely.
We should all learn to live together in harmony and
celebrate our differences. Everybody deserves a
chance to live a racism-free life.
