"You Learn to Listen to People's Points of View:" Tamika A.

Tamika A., a student at Notre Dame Roman Catholic Girls' School, London, shares some of the lessons of her Facing History and Ourselves class. Studying discrimination in the United States in 1957 and other instances of injustice, Tamika and her classmates have learned the importance of not judging a whole group of people based on what some individuals do. Learning about the International Criminal Court, they have wrestled with questions such as whether justice is possible after genocide and whether a child soldier is a victim or a perpetrator. Tamika spoke at the Facing History and Ourselves 2011 UK benefit dinner.
