Differences don’t matter
2008 July 15
Boston Globe columnist Kevin Cullen writes about two Bostonians profoundly touched by conflict but reacting in constructive, inclusive ways. Isaura Mendes, originally from Cape Verde, has lost two sons to senseless street violence – and now organizes an annual march in their honor to show youths “there are alternatives to putting a gun under your baggy shirt.” Larry McCann, a Catholic who grew up in Belfast, saw his best friend murdered for dating a Protestant. Now he operates a hurling and football club that embraces all children, “no matter what color they are, no matter what ethnicity they are, no matter where they go to worship.”
