humanitarian, as well as a devout Christian who believed that he could
change the world with non-violent protests; which he did. He
organised marches, parades and campaigns against racial segregation
and dedicated his life to overcoming this racist policy which the
government held in place. He was killed for his determination to bring

human rights. During The Revolution of Dignity millions of citizens
from all corners of the country fought for the defence of their rights.
All theses people became the Heavenly Hundred Heroes, the fighters
for Ukrainian independence.
So, looking at the lives of these heroes I can say that one
person can make a difference in the lives of others.
