A bullet cant kill a dream

They say a bullet cant kill a dream, a real example of this concept is Iqbal Masih

Iqbal masih’s death or rather life inspired Immense action around the world/ a movement against child labour all over the world

Way to go Iqbal! Great Speech! You are a really great person. R.I.P. Iqbal.

My teacher read the book to the class. When I heard it was a true story I just had to find some stuff on youtube about him... and I did! :D I know who killed him. In the book it said that a carpet mafia one day chased him with a gun. Then another day he was shot. The pieces just come together.

He was a true hero....I remember him well....wishing he stayed in America in 1995 after his speech and didn't go back to Pakistan...it was not safe....and then the news of his death shot down in front of his home at 12 years old riding his bike. It's a heartache. He was going to do great things in this world.
