Ms. Stange was selected for a workshop at UW-Madison, summer 2019, to meet Kim Phuc and Nick Ut. Kim is “napalm girl” from the Vietnam War. Nick took the photo which won him a Pulitzer Prize but he saved her life after the picture was taken by rushing her to a hospital. Ms Stange shared the story and Kim’s life with her US 2 class in a google hangout while in school closure. The person behind the photo is fascinating as is the photographer. Please research Kim’s books because she is a strong advocate for literacy and education.
