Racism—a violation of universal brotherhood

Lacy Bell Richter

Years ago I had an experience that continues to influence my estimate of individual rights—rights that are gifts from God regardless of mankind's race or culture. After college I began teaching in a large school system. At the first staff meeting, I met Margaret, who had grown up in an "army family" and had lived in several countries. Our talks together broadened my small-town perspective and sharpened my love for the people I was meeting. Love for others was essential to me because love is a basic law in the teachings of Christ Jesus, and therefore in the practice of Christian healing.

Margaret and I enjoyed talking with each other and sharing our experiences. She too aspired to express unconditional love for each student and each associate.
