Hate's Continuing Toll
Despite the tremendous gains made by the Civil Rights Movement, hate and discrimination are still deeply entrenched in our society.
In its most extreme form, hate continues to claim the lives of those caught in its path.
Every year, people are still being killed because of the color of their skin or because of characteristics like their religion or sexual orientation that make them seem "different."
In a number of places around the world in recent years, ethnic and religious differences have triggered deadly campaigns of genocide.
For every victim remembered here, there are many others who have lost their lives to hate. |
