The Birmingham Pledge

  • I believe that every person has worth as an individual. 
  • I believe that every person is entitled to dignity and respect, regardless of race or color. 
  • I believe that every thought and every act of racial prejudice is harmful; if it is my thought or act, then it is harmful to me as well as to others. 
  • Therefore, from this day forward I will strive daily to eliminate racial prejudice from my thoughts and actions. 
  • I will discourage racial prejudice by others at every opportunity. 
  • I will treat all people with dignity and respect; and I will strive daily to honor this pledge, knowing that the world will be a better place because of my effort.
