"This is my America"

Jackie Summers lives in New York and last month posted this photo on line saying "This is my America: people letting people be people."

Jackie wrote, "A Taoist (me) gives up his seat so that a Hasidic couple could sit together. They scoot over so a Muslim mother could sit and nurse her baby, on Easter Sunday." In three days the photo was shared 58,000 times with 78,000 reactions. 

One comment said, "This gives me JOY! I always pray that we as a nation might become ONE as we embrace each other and our differences."

What's happening in the picture?
Where are they?

Explain the story

Why did Jackie give up his seat?
How many different faiths are represented in the story?
How are the people in the photo similar?
Why do you think the picture was shared so many times?
What does this show us about the world today?
Some say that people of different faith or culture cannot get along, what does this picture suggest?
What can we learn from this picture?
Why is this about No Outsiders?
