PAST & FUTURE
Values Are Still Important

Some things never go out of style. Traditional values, such as putting in an honest day's work, giving back to the community, respecting your elders -- are passed on from generation to generation by men and women who not only talk the talk, but live examples of positive values. In the April-May 2001 issue of about...time magazine, we turn our spotlight on folks we all could learn a lesson or two about values.

 

 

  • Most of us work hard to give our children the best. "And God Said" -- a poem about the innocent, wide-eyed faces of children pictured on the cover and inner pages of this issue, reflects on how children learn what's important.
  • "Teaching in the Moment" shows how ordinary conversations can offer extraordinary opportunities to teach children values.
  • Some of the best lessons come from the past. In "It's Our Story, So Pass It On," hear the voice of Columbus, Ohio, storyteller Marie Saunders Hope, who slips into historical characters of the past to bring positive values into the present.
  • What do a robe and 20-plus years of marriage have in common? Meet a man who continues to value both as eternal symbols of love in "About Marriage."
  • Bring out the princess in your little girl with a Sissy Poo dress by African-American designer Denise Allen Wicks, who creates Sunday Best items that turn little girls into "Sophisticated Little Ladies!"
