As long as you keep a person down, some part of you has to be down there to hold him [or her] down, so it means you cannot soar as you otherwise thought.

-Marion Anderson

Like carrying a grudge or hating someone, keeping another person down does you harm, too-sometimes more harm than you are doing to the other perosn. Who is kept dow in your school or community? Who is most determined to keep those people or groups down? Why? What can others do to stop the oppressors?
