“Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to unite in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair. It is more powerful than governments in breaking down racial barriers. It laughs in the face of all types of discrimination.”
- Nelson Mandela
As one of my CAS activities, I was a part of the production of the drama Hush: An Interview with America. Drama, like sport, is a barrier breaker. A persons race is not a factor in their performing talent. No matter who a person is offstage, everyone is given an equal chance at auditions; people are able to come together by simply sharing a love of theatre. Drama is also groundbreaking in the sense of the content it can contain and the message of the performance.
