In this land, some courageously come forward when facing oppression; some fight for freedom, unwilling to compromise with difficult situations; and some continue to speak out, hoping to bring an idealistic future into being. In the midst of conflict and resistance, we recognize the not-too-distant past as well as the challenge-filled present.
