Birmingham Pledge
I believe...
that every person has worth as an individual.
I believe every person is entitled to dignity and respect, regardless of race or color.
I believe every thought and every act of racial prejudice is harmful;
if it is my thought or act, then it is harmful to me as well as to others.
Therefore from this day forward I will...
strive daily to eliminate racial prejudice from my thoughts and actions.
I will discourage racial prejudice by others at every opportunity.
I will treat all people with dignity and respect; and I will strive daily to honor this
pledge, knowing that the world will be a better
place because of my effort.

Today
Birmingham, Alabama ignited a fire that illuminated social injustice throughout the South and nation as a whole. Today, the city once known for police dogs and bombings is at the center of efforts to remedy America’s history of pervasive racial inequality through alliances once thought impossible. The Birmingham Pledge is one of the key components of that movement.
... the Pledge’s goal to eliminate racism in the world one person at a time.
"The Birmingham Pledge is important because it shows the world that a genuine effort toward racial reconciliation and acceptance of diversity is possible even in a city with the history of Birmingham."
Darla, anything you post has honesty and integrity behind it.
You‘re a keeper!
Why do I love Chocolatier...Let me count the ways!!!
Thanks Cynthia,
After the last couple of weeks on this site and with the political mess, I am on a mission to do what I can to stop racism even if it is one person at a time.
Darla is one of my very fave Christian soldiers, because she really is about peace and love.
Girls .....Stop stop stop... No keep going. hahahhahahahaha
Really, I have really been bothered by the hate comments on this site in the last two weeks. Just like all of you.
I thought this fit the bill.
It should be our house rules or motto or hey pledge like it says....
Ditto, ditto, and ditto.
Ms Darla and I are going to have to get together some day soon, before I’m off to Colorado for sure.
I was just talking about this with my kids today. In some ways I can understand how racism is still alive in the older generations (because of what they lived through) but I have no clue why it is still so prevalent with ‘younger’ folks. Anybody remember the Coke commercial? Living in Harmony.... :) Not that I am keen on promoting cola (being a health nut and all) but it sure would be nice to have peace and harmony. One person at a time is a great way to affect change!
