Amy Biehl was a young woman who had a tremendous amount of faith. Unfortunately this faith was also the reason for her untimely death. On Aug. 25, 1993, when she was just 26 years old, she was murdered by a fanatic group of rights activists in South Africa. Amy was studying at the University of The Western Cape. She was very active in the anti-apartheid movement. She was a very strong supporter of racially equality in South Africa. She showed her faith, in many ways throughout her life. Her most prominent showing of faith was her dedication to the equal rights of all people. Her faith is still lived out today. Her parents are very active in human rights organizations. Her parents were able to reconcile with her killers and supported their release from prison. Amy Bieh was a great example of faith to me. She believed in what she was doing, and was dedicated to it to the point of her death.
