Susan Jewell part one (ish)

international:
SUMMARY
One of the Lost Boys of Sudan, Emmanuel Jal, has turned his experience into song. He is now a rapper whose music is infiltrating many people's ears. He became a child soldier to seek revenge for what men did to his family. His little sister was raped and his mother was brutally beaten in front of him. He use to hate Muslim people and he just wanted to kill them. He now has a CD where he and several Muslim men are rapping together. He has been able to overcome his anger and he is grateful to rap and the woman who rescued him.


OPINION
This is awesome. Emmanuel Jal is an inspiration to every person or race who is/was upset with another race. His lyrics are honest and speak truth; I like that. His rap shows how there is more to life than sex, drugs, and bombs which is the stereotypical rap music. Anyways, this man makes me proud in this aspect of what I know about him.
