Between RAPP applicants, Facilitator candidates, and RAPPers talking about our meanings, I'm continually impressed by how much we can get out of those four words.I decided to take a few minutes to dig around on-line and see who else uses this phrase. It's turning out to be a fun adventure.
First, when I typed "each o" into the Google search box, it completed the phrase fully as its first option. Wow! Apparently this is popular. The general Google search pulled up 24,500,000 results - then it froze up my Explorer (as it often does). The Google engine through the Dell homepage (which doesn't freeze up) pulled in 18,200,000 results.
Many groups that are working to fight injustice and build connections between people use Each One Teach One as a motto or name. Unsurprisingly, these are often educational groups. There's a Facebook and a MySpace user each with the name. Washington University in St. Louis's community service office bears the name. The one that surprised me, though, was the punk album.
I'd love to hear from you all what Each One Teach One means to you!

I know this is an older post, but I thought I'd chance a reply to you and see if this site is still active. I live in Bahama, NC, and we're facing--as I suspect you won't find surprising--racism & racist behavior in our small community. Bahama is just north of the Durham city limits. The good news is that many people across the spectrum of color want to challenge this behavior, and I was wondering if your Each 1 Teach 1 logo is copyrighted and/or if you would grant rights for us to use it locally here. I haven't checked yet with all our neighbors, but this seems like something that we can use to bring people together both to teach our children (and each other) about being safe, about being tolerant, and about learning from one another. It's a riff on the literacy origins of the phrase, but it makes sense to me--hopefully to others as well. Many thanks, Scott Cooley
