Docia Zavitownski, who died in late 2009 in her late '90s, won CEASE's Peace award twice, and was revered throughout the early childhood profession as a wise leader. She established the Play Matters Foundation, which encourages us all to enhance the role of play in the lives of young children.

Rethinking Schools, www.rethinkingschools.org 
Rethinking Schools, a publication for the education community, is firmly committed to equity and to the vision that public education is central to the creation of a humane, caring, multiracial democracy. While writing for a broad audience, Rethinking Schools emphasizes problems facing urban schools, particularly issues of race.

Tolerance.org is a principal online destination for people interested in dismantling bigotry and creating, in hate's stead, communities that value diversity. If you want to know how to transform yourself, your home, your school, your workplace or your community, Tolerance.org is a place to start — and continue — the journey.
