our skin or the shape of our eyes or our
gender, instead of the unique identities of
each of us as complex human beings.

The price of the democratic way of life
is a growing appreciation of people's
differences, not merely as tolerable,
but as the essence of a rich and
rewarding human experience.

something unique to teach us.
