Session II: "Love Wins!" by Mack Nel and Jeff Williams Online
Prejudice: same sex partners and parents
A photo and a sincere wish to cheer someone up, started the unexpected special relationship of Mack Nel & Jeff. There was an instant connection that led to hours of conversation daily. The first meeting was challenging, as if it was not meant to happen, eventually, their desire to see and to be with each other proved to be greater than any challenges. The same desire along with their trust and belief in each other allowed them to surpassed all negative blows in life together. It may be not the conventional life most people would have chosen but they treat everyday as a blessing and are happily building their family.

THE ORIGIN OF THE HUMAN LIBRARY
The Human Library or “Menneskebiblioteket” as it is called in Danish, was created in Copenhagen in the spring of 2000 by Ronni Abergel and his brother Dany and colleagues Asma Mouna and Christoffer Erichsen.
The original event was open eight hours a day for four days straight and featured over fifty different titles. The broad selection of books provided readers with ample choice to challenge their stereotypes and so more than a thousand readers took advantage leaving books, librarians, organisers and readers stunned at the reception and impact of the Human Library. --https://humanlibrary.org/about/--
