Prejudice
- An adverse judgment or opinion formed beforehand or without knowledge or examination of the facts.
So often prejudice seems degenerate and intractable, beyond any redemptive reach. Yet when one person is willing to push against it, and another is willing to grant that person a hearing, how remarkable can be the effect. When in need of a shot of assurance that all is not lost even in a fallen world, consult a title below. Following are excellent illustrations of people challenging prejudice, remaining true in the face of it, overcoming it, and even ~ sometimes, dazzlingly ~ correcting it.

Back from a seriously scary health relapse in mid-October and returning to action. Kudos to my patient friends and colleagues, you're the best. New programs and more unrolling this year, here's to 2012!
