You guys have most likely heard of this blog "Humans of New York", but if you have not I will briefly explain. In 2010 this guy named Brandon thought it would be cool to document the different characters found wandering the streets of NY, so he set out to capture 10,000 snapshots. However, somewhere along the way, he began collecting short stories and quotes to go along with each photo, and his blog has become quite the national phenomenon.
As I was scrolling the thousands of pictures and stories a few days ago, I found this one quote that stuck out to me. It reads, "It is my belief that God created one earth, and we humans have wrongly drawn boundaries to fulfill our personal and political desires." I think this family is spot on about pretty much everything we have been learning about in Global for the past eight months. Race is not real, it was created to belittle some ethnicities/skin colors while giving power to others. What do you guys think about this picture and the quote that goes along with it? What do you think about the HONY blog in general?
This is very interesting Paige. I just wanted to share that someone recently created a Humans of Los Altos Facebook page. Here is the link to the Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/humansoflosaltos. There is also a Humans of Palo Alto Page if you would like to take a look: https://www.facebook.com/humansofpaloalto.
