Studies are conducted, classes taught, speeches given, workshops facilitated, organizations founded, groups formed, films made, books written, dialogues encouraged, even laws passed and enforced. For what? To help us learn to live together without prejudice or discrimination, to break down the barriers we put up that divide us. How complex we make it seem. Yet all I had to do was spend time at the jazz festival with my dear friends, DeShaun and Neil, to see the answer to our struggles. As the song says, "All we need is love." Differences in race, age, gender, ability, size, sexual orientation, religion, economic and social background, education, ethnicity, national origin. None of it is any match for the power of love. That's what DeShaun and Neil taught me without saying a word.
