[Peace-discuss] an anti-bias poster for the CUMTD buses?

[Stuart Levy]

Hi.  Here's an attempt at something I'd like to propose
posting on the insides of our buses.

A .pdf is attached, but the text reads:

(on the left hand side)

    The Arabs used to say,
    When a stranger appears at your door,
    feed him for three days
    before asking who he is,
    where he's come from,
    where he's headed.
    That way, he'll have strength
    enough to answer.
    Or, by then you'll be 
    such good friends
    you don't care.
    [...]

  From the poem, Red Brocade
  by Naomi Shihab Nye



(and on the right-hand side)

  What do you think of
  when Arabs are mentioned?

  How about a long tradition
  of hospitality to strangers?

    Understanding
is an antidote to conflict.

      A.W.A.R.E.
