Through events like war, colonialism, slavery, apartheid, etc. etc., we move on while still carrying the battle scars of the past. I think that as long as we know and appreciate our ancestors and their relationship with the greeks and what came out of it, we have overcome far more than a language and some letters. As a matter of fact, you might say we simply took back what was rightfully ours to begin with.
So very very true!
