<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The caption under the photo read: \u201cThis is my America: people letting people be people.\u201d The photo going viral on social media has people cheering on diversity in the U.S. On Sunday, native New Yorker Jackie Summers posted a photo on Facebook and Twitter that appears to show a Jewish man and woman sitting on a NYC subway car next to a Muslim woman in a hijab holding a baby. The caption Summers wrote on Facebook reads: \u201cA Taoist (me) gives up his seat so a Hasidic couple could sit together. They scoot over so a Muslim mother could sit and nurse her baby, on Easter Sunday. This is my America: people letting people be people.\u201d The Facebook post had garnered more than 75,000 reactions and 58,000 shares by Wednesday afternoon. People commented on the photo to celebrate the diversity that it reflects, and what that means for the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cTHIS, is what makes America great and these days I\u2019ve been struggling to find ways to feel good about America,\u201d one person wrote on Facebook. \u201cWe, the people…Thank you for restoring a little of my faith in humanity today, Jackie.\u201d \u201cThis gives me JOY! I will always pray that we as a nation might become ONE as we embrace each other & our differences!\u201d another person commented on Twitter. \u201cA Beautiful Tapestry!\u201d<\/p>\n
Summers said the photo, which he took on the F train after leaving a dim sum brunch, simply captures an everyday moment in his city and country. It\u2019s worth noting that he didn\u2019t ask the riders\u2019 permission to take or post the image, as he said that would have \u201cfelt forced and staged.\u201d \u201cThe moment is extraordinary in its ordinariness: common courtesy as an afterthought is the NYC and the America I was raised to believe in,\u201d Summers told The Huffington Post in an email. \u201cGiven the age of divisiveness we live in, it seems people are looking at this photo as a reason to put issues like race, religion, and sex aside to focus on more important issues relevant to peaceful coexistence.\u201d Since the election of President Donald Trump, several interactions on the New York City subway have garnered nationwide attention for highlighting diversity and division in the U.S. In February for example, subway riders were photographed cleaning swastikas off of a train\u2019s walls and in March, a young Latina woman was filmed shutting down a fellow rider\u2019s xenophobic rant. \u201cAs the grandchild of immigrants, my ancestors believed America to be a place where the possibility of equity existed,\u201d Summers said. \u201cWhile it\u2019s clear we still have a long way to go to achieve that goal, I and people like me across this nation are fighting every day to see that end.\u201d<\/p>\n
Do These Viral Postings Make a Difference in Bringing America Together in Its Diversity<\/p>\n
Absolutely Yes!<\/p>\n
Knight of Swords:<\/b>
\nThis card represents a male energy that is a disruptive force and with control issues. Trump has represented this energy since his campaign for President and statistics have shown open aggression is on the rise since his election.<\/p>\n
The Fool:<\/b> Inverted (Upside Down)
\nThis card represents having trust and faith in new beginnings. Since the card is inverted I feel it shows that even though we are struggling with racism and bigotry, the under lying desire of Americans is that we want a peaceful coexistence.<\/p>\n
Ten of Wands: <\/b><\/p>\n
This card represents a burden being carried in a life situation. I feel it shows this will be a burden that all Americans must bear for a while and to begin to make changes for the better one person and one kind act at a time.<\/p>\n
