Travel is to understand
#412
Friend of Democracy,
Today, just a photo from last week’s travelling through Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia (I took the picture at the train station of Prijedor in Bosnia and Herzegovina), and a quote by Maya Angelou:
“Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.”
Maya Angelou was an American poet, memoirist, and civil rights activist best known for her autobiographical book ‚I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings‘ (1969), which powerfully depicts her early life and experiences with racism and resilience.
See you in Democracy,
Johannes Eber
