Grace Stroud: Blood brothers and sisters

While watching the news after the horrific event in Orlando, I noticed a clinic that was accepting blood donations was named One Blood. It did not say Muslim blood, Christian blood, Jewish blood. It did not say black blood, white blood, Hispanic blood, Asian blood. It did not say male blood, female blood. It did not say straight blood, gay blood. Simply, One Blood.
