>>>>@ Finer Woman....
My brother would sooo love to conversate with you. We went to a play last month with some of my friends and his frat brothers, the name of the play was something like the "History of the African-American people", and they started the play with Harriet Tubman and went on....Needless to say he, and several of his frats were LIVID>>>> After the play, we went out to eat, and he explained to me why he was so upset. (He is a Psyc major and I am trying to follow in his footsteps), but anyway, he said that since there were children and other people in the audience who may not be well-read about our history, it is very mis-leading to BEGIN the play in slavery. We talked and talked and he was just so upset b/c he said that children these days think that all of their ancestors looked like Aunt Jemima, and this is extremely sad. He said, and I agree, that if they were going to name the play "the History of the African-American people" they should have started from the begining when we were taken from our royal status' and forced into slavery.
Anyway, I didn't mean for my post to be this long, but your begining sentence reminded me of that conversation and I had to comment....Phenomenal Day!!!
