Gardening For Equality

See that sign just above? That’s for our newest Humanity Garden, now under preparation where it will be a permanent gift to the community. Or as the sign itself says, “A reminder of our common humanity.”

Our wonderfully caring Humanity Club girls at Rev. Samuel Delevoe Memorial Park in Ft. Lauderdale have worked with us for weeks to better understand equality and respect-for-all. We also talk a lot about humanity during our sessions with these kids of color. (All girls, to promote gender equality.) The Humanity Project uses music, games, art projects, stories, roleplaying and more to teach our important lessons. And it’s clear that the girls are hearing, and understanding, our message. These are bright children who want to make the world a better place, our leaders of the future.

We’ll end this blog by sharing some pictures of their most recent rock painting efforts — all in the name of humanity. These colorful rocks will become the centerpiece of our Humanity Garden at Delevoe Park, which sits next to the African-America Research Library and Cultural Center. We think it’s a perfect spot for a lovely new indoor garden.
