Lazarus - Left Handed
Notes
Transcript
Lazarus – Grew up in Africa and was left handed. When his parents noticed that he reached with his left hand instead of his right hand they started to punish him for using his left hand because it is looked at as wrong. The parents first tied a rock to his left shoulder which would prevent him lifting up his left arm to grab something. As soon as the harness was removed Lazarus continued to grab with his left hand. They finally buried him up to his neck and left him there for days with not food or water and he still did not cure him. He grew up trying to use his right hand but it hindered him greatly.
