Ava Lowery
Ava Lowery is only 15 years old, but wiser than many politicians
and reporters four times her age.
The young Alabaman started a website called "Peace
Takes Courage," and
populated it with arresting Internet flash presentations and news.
Many Internet activists have seen Ava's emotionally wrenching presentation
of "Jesus
Loves Me" that
so movingly depicts the horror inflicted upon children by Bush's
Iraq War.
Although many Democratic leaders back down when confronted with hostile
questions from the press, Ava
has held her own and shown that a backbone
comes with character, not age.
As one BuzzFlash reader noted of her appearance on CNN: "Ava
was beautiful and gracious and stuck to her talking points. Her
poise was remarkable. Folks, this is our future. The right would
have us believe that tomorrow holds nothing but darkness for us.
But it's
just not true. We can move America forward, no matter how small we
may feel in the big scheme of things. Ava is a testament to the human
spirit, an example of hope for all of us."
Ava Lowery has created
more than 70 truthful animations about peace and the deceptions
of the Bush Administration. She was the
toast of the recent YearlyKos convention,
and for good reason.
She is a most worthy winner of this week's BuzzFlash "Wings
of Justice Award."
