Paul Rusesabagina Speaks Out on the Power of Discussion

Yesterday, I showed the video, Defying Genocide, here at Truman State University. It was a powerful showing, and the discussion that followed was passionate and intelligent. The video focused on the genocide in Rwanda and what one man did to save others. Watching this and discussing the power of the human spirit reminded me of Paul Rusesabagina. I encourage and challenge you to read this article about one of my personal heroes. He so wisely states, "''The most important thing in life is discussion. When someone opens their mouth, that means there is a solution.''

The article discussing his struggles after his heroic work in Rwanda:
