There is a room in the Civil Rights Memorial Center called the Wall of Tolerance. There are computer screens around the room where people are asked to take an oath, so to speak, to keep their commitment towards ending hate and hate crimes. The Civil Rights Memorial Center website says, "Those who place their names on the wall make a commitment to work in their daily lives for justice, equality and human rights--the ideals for which the martyrs of the Civil Rights movement died." This picture is of my name, added to the wall forever. Yet another moving experience for me on this trip.
