We Are All Equal Parts Of One Human Family

Like many big things that come out of Key West, the “One Human Family” movement began in a typically openhearted, grassroots way.  For decades, the island city had been renowned for its residents’ welcoming and accepting attitude toward all people — white, black, gay, straight, rich, poor, young, old, etc.  Strong as it was, that attitude of inclusiveness remained pretty much unstated. That is, until one day in 2000, when local artist and graphic designer J.T. Thompson used his imagination and talent to state it.

His action seemed simple: he designed a bumper sticker reading “All people are equal members of our ONE HUMAN FAMILY.” When he started printing them and giving them away, they were snapped up by friends, visitors to Key West and total strangers who spotted them and were captivated by the message they expressed.
In October 2000, the Key West City Commission unanimously adopted “One Human Family” as the island’s official philosophy.
Almost as quickly as a YouTube video goes viral, the “One Human Family” message spread around the globe. Bumper stickers were and are available free to anyone who wants them, with their printing and distribution funded by donations from supporters.  See full story here.
