Realizing that every moment must be used to leave the world a better place, River's activism in social justice, animal rights, environment and peace causes inspired what has become the River Phoenix Center for Peacebuilding.
If there are any people on earth who can teach us about the lessons learned from living in an unjust society, while seeking opportunity, it's the people of South Africa.
Let's replace him with Will's aunt from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and see if no one notices again. It worked the first time they replaced Aunt Viv with someone who looked nothing like the first Aunt Viv. Let's try it again.
