Accidents and tolerance

Hello to all! I hope everything is going well at home. Today in the morning everyone went to All peoples to do more clean, while I took a trip to the hospital. Yesterday around 230, I went with a teacher from the center to pick up the middle skool. During the second trip we got into a car accident. We T-boned a small silver car. Thank god me and the cildren were in a big van. Some of the kids were shaken up, as was I but no major injuries. The doctor said that I have a bad case of whiplash and muscle strains but I am doing well. The scariest part however wasn't the accident. I was given the responsibility of walking the children back from the site to the center through streets that we had earlier been told about the gangs who live in the area. But we returned safely.
Later in the afternoon today we all took a trip to the Museum of Tolerance. We all had been touched in different ways. The first part of the museum was about terrorism, civil rights and other intolerance's facing our world today. One of the things that stood out to me the most was during a video of the struggle for the rights of African-Americans. At one point a young black man was talking with a older white man. The young man wanted to pray in the same church as the white people. The white man told him to go back where he came from and to pray with his own people. The boy asked "but i dont understand, I want to pray WITH you, cant we all pray together?" The white man responded by calling him the N-word and told him to got the F home. This truly struck me. The next exhibit was the holocaust memorial. Although this wasn't as graphic, was just as intense. After the tour was over we had a time of reflection in the van on the way home. Today was a lot to handle. But thankfully we all had each other to support each other and to have a shoulder to lean on. Well thats all for now. Peace and blessings!!!
