I could NEVER have done what they did. I know that was all they could become, but I'm sorry, I just couldn't. I couldn't even see myself being my grandmother...cleaning other people's homes and such. Ohhhhh no!
Does this suggest that I am not strong because I was not a slave?
Something to think about.  [/B]

I'll say that you would be amazed at what you WILL do when you HAVE to do it. I think that's why our ancestors persevered. Not only that but our people have a strength unlike any other. Slavery involved a strong sense of community among slaves. So it may be safe to assume that our ancestors endured for those that couldn't and that they persevered for us (future generations).
