Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Reparative Justice

Thanks for facilitating my invitation to speak about my other documentary, IE: Inclusive Excellence. It was also my honor to host your presentation of your documentary on African healing plants, during Black History Month.. My regards to your brilliant students. One of them asked me what should be said to a family member or close friend who supports fascism or something like that? I had answered that the normal thing is for people to ask the person, what is wrong with you? 

Afterwards, I thought that it was a bit harsh to say that, until recently when it is clear that millions still support alleged fascists, when love and compassion would bring joy to all. Is it not appropriate to ask in times like this, what is wrong with them, and what if they answer that they are just fine, but, what is wrong with those of us who refuse to join fascism? The smart answer is that nothing is wrong with them nor with us, but something is definitely wrong with a society that produces and nourishes such anti-social and social passions.

We will update the film.

True.I do recall. We can upgrade it.

Incidentally, the students at CCSU

enjoyed discussing your film and

your classroom commentary a few

semesters ago.

Thanks Sista Glo, for your encouragement. You once told me that we can update the documentary with better equipment and voice over. Ready when you are, my fellow filmmaker.

https://bbc.com/news/articles/cjr4dvl47jpo As CHOGM decided to initiate discussions on reparative justice for Africana people on centuries of crimes against humanity orchestrated by Europa and Americana states and corporations, see my article on 'Reparative Justice': https://journals.sagepub.com/.../10.1177/14624745211024342 and my earlier eponymous documentary: https://youtu.be/kEcdGS7eu_g
