Hannah Today, we spent our morning watching the heart-breaking film Mississippi Burning. This fictional movie captured the extreme racism present during 1964. FBI agents settled into a small town in order to try and solve the mystery of three missing teen civil rights activists. The director blatantly showed the horror behind racism which was overwhelming for me. This film broke my heart and I had to leave the room because I was sobbing so hard. I was crushed to think that people hated each other so much just because of the color of their skin. The depth of racism really hit everyone in our group this morning. My eyes have really been open to the injustice still present and evident in the world. In the afternoon, a group of us went to a house that the Perkins Foundation had purchased, and painted the bathroom, hall and many of the other rooms. We were told that a family that was hit by the hurricane was going to move into this house, which excited us. It gave us so much purpose knowing that we were serving the Lord and making a beautiful and safe house for a family in need.
