A Moving Event

On one of my recent visits to Indianapolis, I spent a significant amount of time at “The Power of Children Exhibit” at the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis. I believe that it is impossible to leave there unchanged. What makes it so remarkable? As children, Anne Frank, Ruby Bridges, and Ryan White taught all of us what it means to face hatred, racism, and discrimination while finding hope, courage, and determination. The exhibit includes actual artifacts, live reenactments, and an atmosphere that takes your breath away. I encourage you to visit the website and come to FOCUS 2009 to see how important it is to remember that children are not only our future, they are our present. www.childrensmuseum.org.
