Review: A nonviolent stand

Posted on April 13, 2009

“She took a stand that many disagree with, and she knew that. Everyday I see so many young people afraid to take a stand, afraid to get involved or even to express a strong opinion, afraid of displeasing the powers-that-be. We teach them not to take chances, lest they imperil their possibility of getting good grades and eventually a good job.” Liberata’s blog has an interesting, frank review of My Name is Rachel Corrie, which you can read here.

I saw a young woman who could not help but see that there was a bigger world out there beyond Olympia and who struggled to understand if there was a place for her in that big world and, if so, just what that was. The young college student’s diary entries ring true. Even though it’s now so long ago, I still remember.
