Now Many Things Are Beginning To Come Out And It Was Truly A Reality To Me When I Went To Africa, To Guinea. The Little Things That Had Been Taught To Me About The African People, That They Were "heathens," "savages," And They Were Just Downright Stupid People. But When I Got To Guinea, We Were Greeted By The Government Of Guinea, Which Is Black People - And We Stayed At A Place That Was The Government Building, Because We Were The Guests Of The Government.

... Some Of My People Could Have Been Left [in Africa] And Are Living There. And I Can't Understand Them And They Don't Know Me And I Don't Know Them Because All We Had Was Taken Away From Us. And I Became Kind Of Angry; I Felt The Anger Of Why This Had To Happen To Us. We Were So Stripped And Robbed Of Our Background, We Wind Up With Nothing.
