"Her Story Your Story" has not been updated for 3 weeks. Apart from being very busy, Lara put all the attention on the Israel/Palestine war, which has now entered its 33rd day. I feel that in the face of such a human tragedy, it doesn't seem quite right to introduce any particular person...

Over these weeks, Lara kept incessantly watching related videos every day, searching for what has happened in Palestine over the past 75 years, organizing information, and thinking about how to discuss the origins of this war with students in the class...  Recently, Lara received a collection of English poems written by Palestinian students. Although some of these 50 students are confirmed dead and others are mostly missing, wherever they are now, every word of theirs is a trace of their lives. So, Lara decided to read their poems one by one, to let everyone hear their voices. Even though we are not related, Lara wants to use her modest strength and platform to leave a trace of their lives.

From ancient times to the present, unfairness and injustice have always existed. Due to there’re people standing up, voicing for their different opinions until they were heard of led to the so-called democracy, instead of a dictatorship where one person makes all the decisions.

In America, there was once a group of brave African American children who, when all the adults were too afraid to speak up for themselves, decided to fill the jails with their bodies, until the jails could no longer hold one more black person. Perhaps on that day, the unfair racial segregation policies could be lifted.

And today's protagonist is the youngest of those children, 9-year-old Audrey Faye Hendricks.

Let's listen to her story together!
