'let me fight my monsters.'
#art #history: these words, a plea from teenaged rachel corrie (born #otd in 1979) to her mother. in 2003, she went to #palestine & by the 16th of march, the monsters had killed her.
rachel's death was deemed accidental by an israeli investigation & the soldier who crushed her was exonerated...because of course he was.
brave doesn't touch the sides. read rachel's emails at https://rachelcorriefoundation.org/rachel/emails to fully appreciate her soul.
