Excellent

what a great program - i only saw a small part of it but was really impressed by the research. interestingly, they asked tom's mother if she had ever tried to pass. she said she never had the opportunity. she is much darker than tom's dad. in addition, i was surprised by the memories that were surpressed by many individuals as a result of pain, horror, and misfortune of life.

mya angelo (spelling) told how her grandmother owned a store and a great deal of land in AK. She even rented a house to whites. When the members of the white family came into the store, mya's grandmother gave the white family whatever they wanted in fear that her uncle would be accused of flirting with white men. Mya also told how the white children would come in the store, pull their dresses up and show their panties to mya. Mya told how she was disrepected and her feeling of anger.


I encourage everyone to watch the program!!!
