Both Bama and Zitkala-Sa faced discrimination due to their social background and cultural identity. Despite these challenges, they pursued education as a means to rise above social injustice.
Bama’s brother, Annan, inspired her to study hard and challenge caste discrimination. Zitkala-Sa confronted racial discrimination and cultural oppression but maintained her identity through resilience and learning.
Their stories demonstrate that education empowers individuals to challenge injustice and fight for equality.
