	Bias is a human condition, and American history is rife with prejudice against groups and individuals because of their race, religion, disability, sexual orientation or other differences.

Our experience shows that one person, acting from conscience and love, can neutralize bigotry. A group of people can create a moral barrier to hate. 101 Tools for Tolerance Hate can only be conquered by citizen-activists willing to promote tolerance. You may already be one of them. The ideas in this guide will help foster tolerance in yourself, your family, your schools, your workplace and your community. Some of the ideas are things to do. Some are things to think about. Some are things to remember.
