The Project Lemonade Mission

 

To Each His Own

I cannot change the way I am,
I never really try,
God made me different and unique,
I never ask him why.

If I appear peculiar,
There's nothing I can do,
You must accept me as I am,
As I've accepted you.

God made a casting of each life,
Then threw the old away,
Each child is different from the rest,
Unlike as night from day.

So often we will criticize,
The things that others do,
But, do you know, they do not think,
The same as me and you.

So God in all his wisdom,
Who knows us all by name,
He didn't want us to be bored,

That's why we're not the same

The Project Lemonade mission is to turn about the Ku Klux Klan's public promotion of bigotry by using its own demonstrations as a vehicle to promote tolerance.  In effect, the Klan's and other organized hate groups' gatherings to recruit new members and promote their beliefs will instead become the focal point for public support of educational programs specifically designed to teach racial, ethnic, and religious tolerance.  The duration of each demonstration will determine how much money will be raised for the programs of such organizations as the NAACP, Southern Poverty Law Center, Anti-Defamation League, and the Boyertown Area Unity Coalition.
