Refugees by Suheir Hammad

A video about Refugees set to Suheir Hammad's piece on the K-Salaam hip-hop album. The pictures in this video were not taken by me. I only arranged into an original slideshow.

The Dafur pictures were from National Geographic: Surviving Dafur: African Refugee Life

I had to do some research, but found out that the New Orleans pictures were taken by a photographer named Jacob Applebaum.

Thank you to everyone for the positive feedback on this video. I hope to make many more soon.

If I find any comments to be offensive to any group of people, I will delete them.

I'd just like to say thank you to all that are viewing this video. I never even dreamed that almost 2,000 people would view it; let alone it being given a level 8 rating or being favorited 12 times.

Awesome video! All the beings of the world deserve a life where they are not born or placed in poverty. We all have the right to a dignified life from the very fact that we are born. We CAN make it happen, so lets make it happen.

Strength and love, I see determination in those that survive, little ones who carry their even littlier siblings into life, into a selection not natural, but causing that shared thousand yard stare of those initiated into the knowledge that the many have the power, the few have the money, and the news controls who we hate and love, 1984 is late, Orwell, but good blueprint, buddy, they say, and one percent of the population owns ninety nine percent of the wealth, food alplenty, people starving.
