Unscramble the Blue Letters
But the thing that really aezamd me, that I had no idea, was that you could suffer in this way and then have your whole experience, your story, denied, bueird and forgotten. And it seemed that whenever there was a camera around, or a veido or film camera, it was a great deal harder to do — for those in pewor to bury the story. And Reebok set up a fiudnooatn after these Human Rights Now tours and there was a deoiicsn then — well, we made a proposal, for a couple of yraes, about trying to set up a division that was going to give cameras to human rights activists. It didn't really get anywhere, and then the Rodney King incident happened, and people thought, OK, if you have a camera in the right place at the right time, or, perhaps, the wrong time, depending who you are, then you can actually start doing something, and cniniagampg, and being heard, and telling people about what's going on.

Original Text
But the thing that really amazed me, that I had no idea, was that you could suffer in this way and then have your whole experience, your story, denied, buried and forgotten. And it seemed that whenever there was a camera around, or a video or film camera, it was a great deal harder to do — for those in power to bury the story. And Reebok set up a foundation after these Human Rights Now tours and there was a decision then — well, we made a proposal, for a couple of years, about trying to set up a division that was going to give cameras to human rights activists. It didn't really get anywhere, and then the Rodney King incident happened, and people thought, OK, if you have a camera in the right place at the right time, or, perhaps, the wrong time, depending who you are, then you can actually start doing something, and campaigning, and being heard, and telling people about what's going on.
