false 3688431 1 In America today, the gap between the rich and the poor is the greatest ever recorded--larger than any other industrialized nation. It has become far too easy to ignore the hardships of millions of children plagued by poverty, poor health, illiteracy, violence, adult hypocrisy, and injustice. As founder and president of the Children's Defense Fund, Marian Wright Edelman knows all too well the suffering of so many of our nation's children, who live every day with adversity most of us can barely imagine. In <i>The Sea Is So Wide and My Boat Is So Small</i>, Edelman asks difficult questions about what we truly value, and looks hard at what we can--and must--do to build a nation fit for <i>all</i> children. With the passion and conviction that have made her our leading child advocate, she calls us all to stand up for the future of America. What have we done and what have we left undone? What lessons can we learn from our past and our present to realize a just and peaceful national and world vision for our children and grandchildren?<P><P>Marian Wright Edelman challenges all of us--our leaders, our teachers, the faith community, parents, grandparents, and future generations--to end the epidemic physical and spiritual poverty afflicting millions of our children. We <i>can</i> leave our children with a better, safer, and fairer world <i>if</i> we care enough. And we can--and must--do it now.</p> 3731867 23 9 2008 The Sea Is So Wide and My Boat Is So Small: Charting a Course for the Next Generation total:46|5:15|4:12|3:14|2:5|1:0| 46 175 136 12 4 0 false false Fri Jan 23 13:47:46 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 02 14:32:12 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 20 15:16:41 -0800 2009 Fri Mar 20 14:55:18 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sat Jan 03 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Dec 28 09:40:58 -0800 2008 Sat Jan 03 11:28:19 -0800 2009 1 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Jul 04 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 04 12:15:29 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 04 12:16:38 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri Mar 13 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 11 17:40:01 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 29 18:48:55 -0700 2009
