Around the World in Sixteen Challenges, Thursday, March 10, 2016
Today found the students on an island off the coast of Cape Town, South Africa, an enormous, flat mountain in the background. "Welcome to Robben Island," Anakin said. "This was an island used for banishment and imprisonment--especially of political prisoners--for hundreds of years of South African history, but is most remembered for being the prison for Nelson Mandela, the man who eventually helped to overthrow decades of apartheid rule in this country."
He glanced to Obi-Wan, hoping he'd done the research on this place, too.
"Mandela went on to become president of this nation," Obi-Wan continued fluidly. "As did Kgalema Motlanthe and Jacob Zuma, two other famous inmates of this place. Before that time, many other local leaders were held here. And before them, it was used to isolate people suffering from a condition called leprosy from the rest of the country."
"We're not going to have you run through here because that would be tacky and disrespectful," Anakin said, "but we couldn't come to this part of the world and not let you see some of the history--and not all history is pleasant."
"So you may take your time to consider this place, if you wish," Obi-Wan said quietly. "For many of you, this is part of your history, and it is worthy of your time and attention. We will move on from here for your first task. Soon."
