Inspired by her heroes Civil Right leaders doing their best, she took the plunge most people couldn't or at least wouldn't do. Its hard to say how she might have reacted to seeing this system in place; we cant ask her how she felt but we do know that she knew the risk of being there and she never left when she could have.]]> 2018-05-02 15:21:47 UTC https://padlet.com/s521649/ihpsjllvj8ga/wish/257299388 s521649 https://padlet.com/s521649/ihpsjllvj8ga/wish/258046295 Amy Biehl was a Stanford Graduate turned activist. After hearing the song about Mandela on the radio she did research and saw the nightmarish lives in South Africa. Instead of sending thoughts and prayers she did something about the problems. She went to South Africa and did her best to help those she came across. ]]> 2018-05-04 14:22:24 UTC https://padlet.com/s521649/ihpsjllvj8ga/wish/258046295 s521649 https://padlet.com/s521649/ihpsjllvj8ga/wish/258050695 In most situations when people are asked if they would help people during the time of apartheid its easy to say yes you would. Its easy because that's what you are supposed to say. However in that time period it was dangerous to be there and help, it took time and effort. Amy Biehl is truly inspiring in this way]]> 2018-05-04 14:32:38 UTC https://padlet.com/s521649/ihpsjllvj8ga/wish/258050695 s521649 https://padlet.com/s521649/ihpsjllvj8ga/wish/258052648 I have read about many problems and righteous causes, however yet to do anything about it. We live in a more apathetic time period where nothing but one's self matters. Every American today knows of different problems around the globe yet few do anything. It is easy to say I support something then to go out and help that cause you "Support", but Ms. Biehl has inspired me, showing that you should help the cause you follow. ]]> 2018-05-04 14:37:00 UTC https://padlet.com/s521649/ihpsjllvj8ga/wish/258052648 s521649 https://padlet.com/s521649/ihpsjllvj8ga/wish/258055209 Here in America we see discrimination every day, the way we treat one another differently as if there is tiers of humanity, as if people truly are better then one another. After seeing what Amy Biehl had done with her life I feel as if we can tackle that problem and show to everyone that we are different yet we are the same.]]> 2018-05-04 14:43:04 UTC https://padlet.com/s521649/ihpsjllvj8ga/wish/258055209 s521649 https://padlet.com/s521649/ihpsjllvj8ga/wish/258062903 My brother who is now eleven is mixed and he has seen some of the differences in life because of this, from even our own family. Much like in Trevor Noah's book people an view others differently based on such a trivial thing. My grandparents (Moms Side) have showered me with gifts, attention, and love. Yet my brother has seen none of this that I have. ]]> 2018-05-04 15:00:41 UTC https://padlet.com/s521649/ihpsjllvj8ga/wish/258062903 s521649 https://padlet.com/s521649/ihpsjllvj8ga/wish/258068869 Although I have never been to South Africa I'm not sure I could go during that turmoil.
