Won’t You Be My Neighbor?
Posted by Ted Hopton on June 23, 2008
Why is it that in an age when we can create community anywhere, we often don’t know the people who live next door?
This is an extraordinary story about a man who decided to make a big change in his neighborhood by truly getting to know his neighbors: he asked to spend the night at their houses.
I really don’t think I could do what he has done, but I wish I had the boldness that it takes, because what he has accomplished is a really good thing.
