Negative Positive
Title: exquisitely moving and poignant
Review: Long ignored in the history of our collective consciousness as a society and specific culture are the important contributions made by the richness and diversity of those who courageously left other places, for whatever reason...to embark on a journey to our shores. We have done an abysmal job of welcoming them in the truest sense of the spirit of welcome. We have asked them to forget their rich backgrounds to the degree, as the Parks so movingly report, that they deny it themselves. We require them to commit almost a form of spiritual genocide merely to be a part of what is this culture. This moving story should be required reading and we should be unable to successfully complete a high school education in the absence of a clear sense of honor and deep respect for the experiences that people such as the Parks bring to us. I am grateful for their courage, dignity...and extend my sincerest welcome.
