  one never stops to wonder why things exist the way they do. may be some pple and places are more lucky than others but i never stop to wonder whether it is the case with the USA. One man once said, that when USA sneases, the rest of the world catches a cold, describing perhaps the superiority of this great nation over others in almost every direction. However,certain questions never leave my head, such as, is it true that americans are segregetive and are they racists? A country full of opportunities that are probably not for certain groups and kinds of people, something that perhaps explains why it is so hard for pple that have a black colour find it so hard to live happily in the USA. In art and in fields where talent is needed, i often wonder why the Americans now remember to hail the blacks then. but at the end of it all, does it really matter what colour we are wearing? i thought it matters who we are inside and capabilities they have in them. we should therefore use art to conquer selfish intrests and live all in this beautiful world as the same brothers and sisters. i love u all. art can rule the world.

  Tusasirane,
  
  The way you word things is beautiful in my opinion. While it is true that some Americans are racist there are also many people that are able to look beyond the color of ones skin and see people for who they really are. In some areas it is more difficult for blacks to find jobs as it is with other minorities. I myself am Colombian and have faced some discrimination growing up. It was until college that I realized how much harder people with a darker skin tone have to work. I agree with you when you ask does it really matter what colour we are wearing?
  
  This is our mission as art educators, to spread the word that with art comes beauty and growth. We can bring people together through the act of making art. It is through the creative mind that social justice can be achieved. Our professor showed us some movies and photos from her trip to Uganda and I was blown away with the scenery. All of the children in the footage are absolutely beautiful. I admire the hard work and passion that you put into your studies. It is someone like you that will change and shape the young minds of your generation. You will give them tools and ideas that will stay with them forever.
  
  Art can and WILL rule the world one day,
  Angela
