This episode of your travel made me cry. I'm a grown man and my emotions were all over the place. For one, what the colonizers did to the Africans they stole and made slaves in their countries, in this case Brazil, sickens me. It's like no matter where we, as descendants of Africa landed, our lives were made a living hell. And for many parts of the world, we are still trying to climb out of that hell all the while being asked, "What’s the matter with you? Why can't you just pull yourselves up by your bootstraps?" The sheer will to make something out of nothing out of necessity is another common trait we share with Salvador and others in the Diaspora. What is happening in the U.S. currently with not wanting actual historical truths to be taught, is what the peoples of Salvador explained in this piece? The government had laws in place to punish people for expressing their culture and daring to want better. I could go on and on with things I took away from Salvador and juxtapose them in the U.S such as the ideal that the lighter you are, the better you are and the greater the opportunities for you, (colorism here in the States),: the majority of the people, over 80%, are people of color but have no government representation (similar to South Africa not too long ago) The parts that made me hopeful was the conversation with the people. The young lady who has dreams of being a fashion designer, the young musician who's dream was to be known and win awards for his music, and most importantly, to help other musicians.
Yarbros, you took us through a journey that I did not expect when I first started watching this installment of your travels. You continue to shed the light on cultures around the world, but just as important, the stories of the Diaspora! Thank you thank you, thank you!
