World Unity, Inc. seeks to make a continuing and lasting contribution towards the elimination of all forms of racial, ethnic, gender, religious and cultural
bigotry, prejudices, discrimination and biases. We envision the construction of a permanent landmark with an inscription of the Sun Poem will help promote Diversity and achieve this
vision.
Mother Teresa expressed a
powerful statement that shows the devastating
impact of not embracing
differences. She said, “I have come more and more to realize that it
is being unwanted that is the worst disease that any human being can
experience.” This issue of bias, prejudice and stereotyping impacts
every facet of a community from housing, to education, to the workplace,
to marketplace to healthcare.
Albert Einstein once said,
“You can never solve a problem at the same level of consciousness
that created it."
One of the steps that’s been taken in
addressing the issue is the
creation of the Commonwealth Compact in 2007. It acknowledged that
Massachusetts has a reputation of being unwelcoming to people of color.
It was signed by 185 companies, organization, institutions, associations
and government agencies including the Commonwealth of Mass, the City of
Boston and the City of Somerville. The central objective of the
Commonwealth Compact is to foster a climate in Massachusetts that values
diversity and inclusion. The World Unity Landmark is aligned with this
objective and vision. It invites individuals to look at the issue of
equality from a higher ground. It creates a new awareness, one that
empowers us to embrace differences. Everyday it will foster a climate
that values diversity and inclusion impacting the present and future
generations. The poem is timeless and universal.

What can you do to eliminate discrimination?
Oliver Wendell Holmes, a supreme court justice once said, “A
mind stretched by a new idea can never regain its original dimension.”
If someone told me that a person’s attitude and thinking around prejudice and
discrimination could be changed just by reading a four line poem I don’t think I
would believe it. And yet that is exactly what The Sun poem has been doing
for the last 25 years. Please read the
extraordinary stories of how
The Sun poem has changed people
- in one case it was a matter of
seconds.
