Probably not many people know about Samantha Smith. Well, I do. I know who she was (She passed away decades ago) because in my forensics (acting team) I am in the category declamation where we perform speeches. And the speech that I am performing was written and spoken by her.
I am going to write a summary of that part of her life.
When ten year old Samantha Smith, from Maine, wrote a letter to a Russian (back then Soviet) premier Yuri Andropov over her concern of the possible nuclear war between America and the Soviet Union. She received a letter back and a personal invitation to visit as a quest. That fall in the year of 1983, she was invited to address the Children's Symposium held in Kobe, Japan in 2001. Sadly, Samantha and her father were killed in a plane crash, just 2 years later.
