There is nothing more tragic than a person looking back on their life and saying, “My God, what have I done?”
I also read The Autobiography of Eleanor Roosevelt, the reflections of the most influential First Lady in American history and one of her country’s most respected diplomats. Roosevelt was not perfect, and with a 2023 perspective, I could see that she sometimes displayed strong opinions on global issues yet lacked a clear understanding of what was happening. In addition, like all of us, she had her biases.
Education was to play a key role in promoting the world of universal understanding Roosevelt envisioned. She stated that we must teach our students to be able to speak and listen to people in other parts of the world, that in our global economy, we need to understand histories and worldviews that are not our own. We need to be able to humbly recognize what we do not know and build positive relationships with neighbours who are not like us.
