Mrs. Archana Prasad stands before a picture of her great-grandfather, Mahatma Ghandi. At right, she points to her birthplace in India, Mumbai, formerly called Bombay. Mrs. Prasad has lived in America for the past 27 years and has worked at the Henrietta Public Library for 15 years. She came to Hilton High School on March 9 to talk about her father's stories of Ghandi and the importance of non-violence in life. She quoted her great-grandfather's statement: "An eye for an eye only makes the world blind!" When asked what impresses her about living in America she stated: "I like living in Rochester because it's a very family-oriented community." She and her husband have two boys, one is a medical student at Harvard and the other is in a management program at USC. Photograph by Walter Horylev. |
