Texans for darfur
Dedicated to the education and eradication of discrimination in all its forms including slavery, racism, human trafficking, poverty, and genocide. Belief that all lives, regardless of status or location are of equal value.
This past Saturday I attended a panel discussion on slavery and had the chance to hear Francis Bok speak on his life, book, future etc...I wish he would of had time to speak longer because in just the short time of his speech I was inspired! He has had such a crazy, hard life yet he has remained positive and has fought for himself as well as for others as hard as he could all along the way. It made me really think about how easy my life is and how negative I can be. He inspired me to keep a positive head about everything and to acitively try to make life better for those around me- both near and far! I want to buy his book and get to know his life in greater detail- I hope to hear him speak again at some point. Bok is truly an inspirational (there really is no better word for him in my opinion, besides abolishinist) person!!
