Amy Biehl was killed by a mob in South Africa, August 1993.
A Stanford grad on a Fullbright to study the lives of women in South Africa, she drove through a township just as angry men emerged from a political meeting, not convinced that four decades of white minority rule were really ending.
Today, however, two the four convicted in her death now work for a charity in her name in that same township.
