I was watching a video of a podcast the other day. It was a guy from South Africa talking about how what happened there was so remarkable. Ending apartheid without much violence. Nelson Mandela led this movement. Did you know that he became friends with one of his prison guards? If he and millions did it there, we can definitely make things better here. One person at a time.
