Lara Logan is a truth-teller with courage to stand against the tide and great empathy for the vulnerable. Born in South Africa under apartheid, she said she felt deep pain at the injustice around her even before she fully understood what apartheid was. It was perhaps inevitable, then, that she became a journalist to shine a light on the darkness in the world. At a time when political violence raged in South Africa, 17-year-old Logan, still in high school, sought out a job at her local newspaper.
“The truth is so much bigger than me. I’ve always understood that,” Logan told The Epoch Times. “I know my purpose, I know what I was born to do, I know why I was created, and that was to do the best I can to tell the truth to people about things that matter, in a way that reaches them.”
