Here in Key West, our motto is “One Human Family.” The motto was created by local artist, J.T. Thompson in the early 2000’s. It began as a grassroots effort, which eventually spread to be accepted by locals as the official motto. The idea is simple: “All people are equal members of One Human Family” –regardless of race, nationality, sexuality, and other differences, he believes that "differences are superficial distinctions and cannot be allowed to be twisted into cultural divisions.”
