Just seeing something for the first time can have a huge impact.

Before Chuck Berry, many white people hadn't seen a black person do something that totally titillated them.

Before Jackie Robinson, many white baseball fans didn't think that blacks could play in the same game as the white players.

Then they heard. Then they saw. Then they had to realize. Even if they wouldn't admit it, they had to realize there was good where they might have not thought it existed.

This is what I like about the Montasero twins. And their parents. Putting these videos out there can show people who are afraid to do what they are doing that it can be done. Their scale may not reach the aforementioned legends, but the point is the same.

And it goes for their parents as well. Seeing them accept their sons for who they are can pave the way for other parents to do the same.
