When John Adams, second President of the USA, was living in Philadelphia, he & his wife, Abigail befriended a boy of African descent named James Prince.
The local school refused to allow him to attend due to racism. Mrs. Adams demanded that the boy be allowed to attend.
She said: “Is this the Christian principle of doing unto others as we would have others do to us? I hope that we shall all go to Heaven together!”

Mat 7:12 (GNT): “Do for others what you want them to do for you: this is the meaning of the Law of Moses and of the teachings of the prophets.”
“A Christian ought to feel that when a need arises, it is his duty to fill that need.” - Jack Hyles.
