The museum, along with people such as Johnson, Bentsen and Gruber, provides important and valuable road maps to altruism and the heroic behavior it suggests. Holocaust Museum Houston's Lyndon Baines Johnson Moral Courage Award is a reminder that it is time to take action. We must fight our own insecurities and fears of being different in order to stand up for what is right. As parents, we have the chance to change the future through our own children. As human beings, we have the chance to demonstrate that all people deserve respect and that we must take action to confront injustice.
Heroism comes in many different forms.
That form can be you and me.
