Dear Friends,
Being Black History Month and recently Abraham Lincoln’s Birthday, I thought it would be the right moment to share this illustrated article which honors the memories of significant Black, Asian, and Caucasian individuals from the past, who creatively and peacefully utilized intercultural exchange of art, music, education, and diplomacy as well as working through the political and legal systems to improve race relations – Racism and international disrespect of one another has often been a catalyst towards greater conflict, so gaining new insights from the past may well provide answers for dealing with our more challenging political/military issues of today.
