The Prince Phillip movement is based around the ancient Tanna legend that the pale-skinned son of a mountain spirit would travel over the seas to a distant land and marry a powerful lady. In the 1970s, the Kastom concluded that Prince Philip, Queen Eliza\u00adbeth\u2019s husband, must be the son from their legends. Prince Phillip and the Katsom often exchange gifts and photographs, although he has yet to fulfill any prophecies.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Maya of Morganton<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Maya of Morganton<br \/>\nIn the late 1980s, hundreds of Q\u2019anjob\u2019al-speaking Maya fled from Guatemala to\u00a0settle in the small Appalachian town of Morganton, North Carolina. Their nearly\u00a0decade-long struggle to gain worker rights in the poultry plant where they were\u00a0employed, which included the plant\u2019s first ever worker protests, multiple arrests,\u00a0and hunger strikes, resulted in a successful union election campaign in 1995.\u00a0Their story was documented in Leon Fink\u2019s book, The Maya of Morganton, and\u00a0remains proof of what bravery, determination, and cooperation can accomplish.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Community Healing in Rwanda<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>April 2014 marks the 20th anniversary of the Rwandan Genocide of 1994. The NGO \u201cAssociation\u00a0Modeste et Innocent\u201d has been working on a project to encourage forgiveness and\u00a0healing following the years of terror. Through extending counseling sessions, AMI aims to\u00a0bring the Hutus and Tutsis (the two opposing groups of the war) together, a process that\u00a0cumulates in the perpetrator\u2019s formal request for forgiveness from the person whose family<br \/>\nthey had harmed. Pieter Hugo\u2019s stunning series of photographs show each perpetrator and\u00a0victim together, a shattering of cultural taboos and a powerful gesture towards rebuilding a\u00a0broken community.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Iran\u2019s Gay Underground Railroad<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In Iran, the harsh laws against\u00a0homosexuality require the country\u2019s gay com\u00acmunity to remain hidden. However, the \u201cThe Iranian Railroad for Queer Refugees,\u201d founded in 2008, works with the international gay community to grant gay Iranians asylum in other countries, allowing them to live a life free of secrecy and fear. Farzam Z., a refugee who was helped by IRQR, admits that while the solution is not perfect, the tremendous support from the gay community has helped him adjust to his new life. \u201cEither you want to leave, or you want to die,\u201d he says. \u201c So I prefer to leave.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emily Ellis The Prince Philip Movement The world is full of people who bond together over the strangest things: violent video games, 70\u2019s science fiction novels, and, in the case of the Kastom people from the island of Tanna, Prince Philip of England.
