This is a great post. While I'm saddened by continued atrocities around the globe, I do feel optimism that we are, in totality, moving in better directions. There are far few places where slavery exists, each generation. There are bright lights on atrocities that sometimes brings justice, and/or inhibits those who would commit evil acts. It feels very slow to us, as we live through the middle of such changes. I do feel better when I look at the globe's history in 50-year and 100-year blocks of time.
Adrian-- I have enjoyed your posts and photos. (We met during the Lakes tour this summer). Thank you for visiting Wounded Knee & Pine Ridge, and writing an honest reflection. While I have read much of the history, I haven’t made the physical journey. How fortunate for you and Scott to take the time to road-trip together.
