This just highlights how important it is that people take a stand to demand that all people be treated with equal dignity and respect.

“Ackerman had booked a bus and brought along a number of South Philadelphia High “student ambassadors” – predominantly African American students not involved in the Dec. 3 fights – to talk about their efforts to promote harmony at the school.

Absent were any Asian students who had been victims of the attacks or who had boycotted the school last month.
