In the last fifty years, his ideas and practices have rippled throughout many countries in the world, to touch the lives of millions of children and adults.

While I have studied and been impacted by Freire, I have not gotten a chance to know him personally. He died in 1997. My mentor, Peter Park, was a close friend of Freire, and speaks with great love for the man.

I just came across this video of images from his life. Here, we can get to know Paulo Freire, the person.
