As I write this I am listening/watching A PBS program called Moyers and Company, facilitated by Bill Moyers. In this program he is interviewing a Mexican American Poet, novelist and essayist, Luis Alberto Urrea. It was some of his work that was removed/banned from classrooms in Tucson, Arizona, schools. This is a very powerful interview and if you are ever at want for a definition of COMPASSION view this interview and/or read from Mr. Urrea’s work. One of his quotes: “There is no them, only US.”
