As my sister is coming of age (she just turned 16 years old) she has become quite the human rights activist. It is surprising, in a household where my parents are so rigid and conservative (Very sensitive towards race issues etc). But at the same time, in a house full of so much passion and theological/philosophical debate, I guess I can say it doesn't.My father used to make us listen to MLK tapes, Presidential debates, debates on laws and policies, and Malcom X speeches, and watch history and make us read college history/philosphy textbooks when we were just children..and explain them to us and make us really *think*
She's always been a terribly shy child, my parents fearing she had an inability to communicate with anyone outside of our immediate home. Lately, she's turned into quite the "liberator". Dealing with racist teachers in her classroom, she stands up (to the point of getting in trouble quite often) for what she knows is right, and isn't afraid to "fight"/"defend" the underdog, the oppressed, or mistreated.
I've always wondered about her chart...
Do you see anything that states this dramatic transformation?
