I abhor racism or bullying of any kind. Stories like his often bring me to tears.

Ben is happy feeling he’s come home at last, but it’s sad that he had to put up with racism as a boy and that it still exists in our world. Why can’t people just accept each other as fellow human beings with a right to their beliefs. We are all one people, no matter our religion or the color of our skins.
