Sign of the times

To the Editor:

It surprised me to read John Edelberg’s reaction to the “Hate Has No Home Here” signs that some of us have displayed in our yards (Aug. 5 Letter to the Editor.) It never occurred to me that by putting the sign in my yard I was making a statement that I felt superior to those without such signs. I’m sure the sign displayers have a variety of reasons for their signs; my intent was to help heal the racial divide so prevalent in our country. I know that one yard sign isn’t going to make much of an impact, if any, but it’s my way of showing support for racial unity.
