Mrs. Edwards had a passion for teaching. As a history teacher, she was forever challenging her students to read about past events and those who made them. In Sunday school, she encouraged her youth to recall the stories and heroes of the Bible, as in each country's history there were martyrs like Joan of Arc, burned at the stake for her loyalty and faith. Then wicked men like Idi Amin, whose atrocities shocked the world. A brutal dictator of Uganda for seven years, Amin was called the "Butcher," executing as many as 500,000 people during his reign.
