The stolen generation was a period of time where children were violently snatched from their families and forced into houses and institutions that lied, abused, and humiliated them.

Throughout my 8th grade journey I have been forced to encounter many characters and only one upstander stands out to me as he possesses both the empathy and courage.

She not only writes about claiming the superiority by the white but also
