Marian Wright Edelman Quotes About Violence

• ¿Qué les pasa a nuestros hijos? Adultos que dicen a los niños que sean honestos mientras mienten y engañan. Adultos que dicen a los niños que no sean violentos mientras comercializan y glorifican la violencia... Creo que la hipocresía de los adultos es el mayor problema al que se enfrentan los niños en Estados Unidos.

• We are not going to deal with the violence in our communities, our homes, and our nation, until we learn to deal with the basic ethic of how we resolve our disputes and to place an emphasis on peace in the way we relate to one another.

  Marian Wright Edelman

  Peace, Home, Community

• In 1990, when we started the Black Community Crusade for Children, we were always talking about all children, but we paid particular attention to children who were not white, who were poor, who were disabled, and who were the most vulnerable.Parents didn't think their children would live to adulthood, and the children didn't think they were going to live to adulthood. That's when we started our first gun-violence campaign. We've lost 17 times more young black people to gun violence since 1968 than we lost in all the lynching in slavery.
