Moving Beyond Tolerance: Diversity Education in Social Work The goal of the Jim Crow Museum is to promote racial tolerance by helping people understand the historical and contemporary expressions of intolerance.
Intolerance lays the foundation for violence: symbolic violence and actual violence against people.
Tolerance is More than civility; More than listening to others; More than sympathy for the beliefs of others; More than respect for differences; It is living together honorably and fairly.
Living Honorably What role does prejudice play in my life—my decisions, my relations with others? Have I critiqued my life—not self-whipped—but critiqued?
Fighting Honorably "My address is like my shoes. It travels with me. I abide where there is a fight against wrong." —Mother Jones
