Enslaved in a shrine in her native Ghana as a young child , she had to work without getting pay, without food and clothing. She escaped from there 17 years later. She fought for modern slavery and trafficking. The most interesting is that she escaped from there 17 years later and got surprised because her parents were who sent her to enslaved in a shrine in Ghana. I'm still wondering why her parents sent her there.]]> 2017-03-24 22:37:37 UTC https://padlet.com/100753/ve3beoxr704u/wish/162530493 119781 https://padlet.com/100753/ve3beoxr704u/wish/162530494 http://blogs.nysut.org/sttp/defenders/harry-wu/

John Lewis was one of the most courageous person in the Civil Rights Movement. He fought for political participation, freedom of expression, and equality. The most interesting part was he was elected to Congress in November 1986 and has served as US Representative of Georgia's Fifth Congressional District since then.

Juliana was a young girl when she was taken away from her family and made a sex slave.  She worked as one for 17 years for a man considered a god.  She escaped and told her story on how she escaped her shrine.  One fact that interested me was that she said she never saw a school as a child at all.  This was extremely crazy to hear.
