“The outcry sparked by the world witnessing one horrific act has created a groundswell of conversation, some uncomfortable, but all important. History demonstrates that hate and conflict is a part of the human experience. From the horrific acts of the Holocaust and the Rwandan genocide to the pain of bullying and racial inequality many encounter on a daily basis, we are privy to terrible acts of violence and the fact that all humans have the capacity to hate. But what sparks hate in an individual and transforms it into a destructive force?”
