I appreciated Inga's willingness to share her memories of the events of 1988-1991 as the people of Latvia worked to regain their nationhood and independence.
My students were amazed to hear history from one who lived it, and they transcribed and submitted Inga's video (and Vaira's interview) to the Civic Voices International Democracy Memory Bank Project for other students and teachers to enjoy: http://www.civicvoices.org/MemoryBank
You can view her testimony at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zj254zX_eoQ (copy and paste the url into your browser).
My time in Latvia has been a truly remarkable experience, and what I learned from my partner Inga and her students will inspire my teaching for years to come!
Liels Paldies!
