The America I Want

 

 

 

When I was watching Maddie and Max's school Halloween parade in Burbank last week, I realized that standing in front of me were parents representing the mix that constitutes America: several African Americans, an Asian, a Latino, and a Muslim woman in a hijab.  Behind me was a white guy on a ladder.  All were there for their children, and that mix of kids was marching around the circle together, totally happy together. 

This is what I want America to be.
