Parents and schools should place great emphasis on the idea that it is all right to be different.

Viola Davis
When you say ‘diversity,’ the term has been denigrated over the years because it has been used as a crutch. Aldis Hodge

If you can find common ground, you can accomplish great things. David Boies

Neil deGrasse Tyson
