Honoring the memory of Rachel Corrie

She died 20 years ago today. No, she was murdered 20 years ago today.

I visited the site of her murder about a year and a half later … in Rafah, Palestine.

That visit changed my life’s path forever; I wrote about it here.

Rachel was a remarkable young woman who touched many lives. I wrote about her in August 2012 here. Please read it.

She lived her short life thoughtfully, deliberately and consistently with her values.   Her parents have continued her work through the Rachel Corrie Foundation for Peace & Justice.

Rachel in her own words. Footage from Rachel’s interview conducted by Middle East Broadcasting Company on March 14th, 2003, two days before she was murdered by the Israeli Defense Forces. Listen. Feel. Act. Her life proves one person can make a difference!
