YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

DID YOU KNOW THAT SOMEWHERE IN AMERICA:

  • Every Hour: Someone commits a hate crime.

  • Every Day: At least 8 blacks, 3 whites, 3 gays, 3 Jews & 1 Latino become victims of hate crimes.

  • Every Week: A cross is burned.

Hate in America is a dreadful, daily constant.

DID YOU KNOW THAT IN 2004,
FLORIDA RANKED SECOND IN THE NATION IN THE
NUMBER OF ACTIVE IDENTIFIABLE HATE GROUPS?

Submissions were received from across the suncoast as well as from 43 different countries and 39 different states. We also received student submissions from 55 different schools and approximately one-third of the art and quotations selected for display were submitted by Sarasota, Manatee and Charlotte County public and private school students. Since 2004, more than 70,000 students have been brought to the bayfront for a first hand observation and discussion concerning the importance of diversity. The majority of these students received free transportation to and from the bayfront compliments of our generous financial supporter.
