Even when she wasn’t directly aware of it and even when she wasn’t directly communicating it, my mother — like so many of your mothers — taught me over & over & over again about Right Action. She taught me that bullying was wrong; that bigotry of every kind was to be boldly opposed whenever & wherever it was found; that we were to always stand up for the underdog and always defend the oppressed; and that if we were not going to speak with kindness, we were to be silent — that if we were not going to be kind, we were at the very least to cause no harm … Let us all honor our mothers today by remembering these simple-yet-oh-so-important Truths — and let us then have the courage to honor our mothers by going forth to act accordingly.
