 This photo of my grandfather is significant to me. My Grandfather died when my mother was 11, long before I was born. I never got to meet the amazing person that he was. To me, his legacy lives through this photo. This is one of the only photos of him that I have. I know that he was an amazing father and would have been an amazing grandfather. I know so little about him, but I do know that he was a hard worker and activist. He protested, and people burned his books and destroyed his home. He lived a hard-working life. I feel connected to him when I go to Colombia and when I look at this photo.
