Read the excerpt from It's Our World, Tool: Young
People Who Are Making a Difference.
Since that letter was read, there have been no more
racial slurs from the Marsing Husky fans, at least none
loud enough for the players to hear. Neto and Andy know
that they and Jesse and Rigo and Johnny didn't do away
with racial prejudice in their town. Many white parents
still won't let their sons and daughters date Hispanics,
and the two groups still don't mix much ouide school.
But they also know that they did what no one before
them had done. "At least," says Neto, "we made it
known that we wouldn't accept racism in our school or
from our fans. We made a difference in the part of our
lives that we really could control."
