Provincial Heritage Fair Student, Christi
Grade 7 at Cornerstone Christian
Academy
Project
Title
Marina
Nemat: 'I live to testify.' Truth or Lie?
Why
did you choose this topic?
I
chose this topic because I was inspired by Marina Nemat's bravery, strength,
and courage to stand up for what she believed in and survive her torment in a
country that is abusive to human rights. It seemed like very few people knew
who she was, so I wanted to share her story. I also wanted to use this project
to advocate for human rights as well, as it is a topic I feel very strongly
about.
What
part of the Provincial Fair are you most excited about?
I am
most excited about the walking tour of downtown Squamish.

If
you could meet any historical figure, who would it be and why?
If I
could meet any historical figure, it would be Viola Desmond. It would be her
because she is one of the first Canadians to challenge racial segregation,
which is a huge milestone in our history that means something to many
people. Racial discrimination is a topic that I am passionate about and it
is completely relevant today. I think it would be interesting and beneficial
for all people to hear what Desmond would do to challenge racial discrimination
in today's society.
