Leaders need to set good examples by working together, celebrating diversity and respecting one another. The education of our children represents the future of the city of Dallas both in terms of our future work force and a better well being for our children. The future of each succeeding generation depends on how we care for our young which should include nurturance in the home and community with the best educational opportunities possible for all children. Many could contribute not only commerce, but time and talent to the inner city. The greater the population in the center city, the more activity , the more life and diversity and development.
Many people live without involvement with the heart of the city.
They are not comfortable or interested in coming downtown. If every suburbanite would come in once a week on a train or a bus, the center city would come alive. So the behavior would be connection instead of isolation, no matter where we live. We should finally be of the belief that to expect human differences to melt in a pot of cultural anonymity is inappropriate. Dallas is a city that prides itself on not having had to experience the pain and injury of desegregation that so many of its urban sisters' cities experienced.
