When the Nazi Party took control of Germany and invaded Europe, there were brave Germans and people in neighboring Europeans countries that risked their lives to shelter and hide their Jewish neighbors or helped them escape. During American slavery, there were Americans that
resided along the route of what became known as the Underground Railroad. They risked their lives hiding escaping slaves from slave catchers. There were even fewer that actively fought the enslavers. During the American Civil Rights Movement, there were people that defied the

And they show us that we’ve come far, but we still have very far yet to go.
