"We as human beings want to always divide ourselves and put ourselves in these different camps. These are Russians; these are Ukrainians. These are Japanese; these are Americans. These are Chinese. And these are Jewish, and these are Catholic. But the truth of the matter is, we're all humans. We all have family. We all have parents. We all have this family love in these connections."
– Rex Ziak, co-founder of the OBON SOCIETY
