made, the fight they led to grant themselves basic human rights, the stereotypes they forced their way
out of and the courage it took. We dance in our freedom today only because of the struggle of the past
200 years. If we don't educate ourselves about it and if we are unaware about our own history then we
ignorantly spit on the sacred struggle that has led us to this moment, biting on the hand that has fed us
our freedom.")
