When a Nation Becomes Possessed
The above image is a photo that one of my CSU students took 20 years after the Rwandan genocide. We arrived in Kigali in 2014 for a service project 20 years to the month following the genocide that took a million lives, most dying from a machete chop to the head. One thing I didn't expect as I farmed out 20 young college students from Colorado to African families through the nation's Capital of Kigali was that every student would be seated at a dinner table with one or two empty seats.

Why Mother Cabrini Would Not Want Herself to Replace Columbus on the Colorado Calendar
CNN recently reported, “Colorado passed legislation Tuesday to replace Columbus Day with Cabrini Day because bill sponsors say it doesn't represent their community members. The first Monday of October will now honor Frances Xavier Cabrini, who according to the bill, is the woman responsible for creating 67 schools, hospitals, and orphanages in the United States and South and Central America throughout her lifetime.
