Children, who made your skin white? Was it not God? Who made mine black? Was it not the same God?

And did not the same Saviour die to save the one as well as the other? ― Sojourner Truth

The behavior of these parents matches what they say.
Not the stars, not the farthest solar systems, not the millions of different species of animal life, but the child is the greatest of God's creations.
