As the banner reads, the site Voice of Witness is
‘illuminating human rights crises through oral history.’
I highly recommend reading any of the interviews and stories found here.
The reason why is best summed up in the words of a contributor, found below:
An interview with Out of Exile editor Craig Walzer, featured in The Rumpus:
We need to be able to digest and give people who are very far away the time and space to tell their story in their own words, rather than these hygienic CNN clips of a mother crying and saying we need supplies, or, ‘They came and burned our village in the middle of the night and we had to run.’ It’s so much more important to humanize things like that.
