Work Toward Overcoming Your Own Biases
Misunderstanding arising from ignorance breeds fear,
and fear remains the greatest enemy of peace.

Everyone is a prisoner of his own experiences.
No one can eliminate prejudices - just recognize them.
- Edward R. Murrow
Read Who was Edward R. Murrow

- H. L. Mencken
People see themselves as the center of the universe
and judge everything as it relates to them.
- Peace Pilgrim
There is no neutrality.
There is only greater or lesser
awareness of one's bias.
- Phyllis Rose
Everything we say, do, think, and feel
is a product of our personal history
and the collective history of humankind.
Our name for these histories is "prejudice."
