My Return From Exile

It has been a long time since I have been on this blog. I had to work  many extra hours to take care of some financial matter which are close hopefully to being completely done and over with.

During this time I have been fascinated, disgusted appalled and inspired by some programming airing on PBS. It the series is called  Black in Latin America. It is narrated by Prof Henry Louis Gates.


This series has made me take up again looking into Latin American as well as my own family history and really has opened my eyes to many things going now in the Country of my birth - the USA.  I find this to be a very interesting period in the history of the Americas.

I have so much of a greater appreciation of my own history. I never had the time to really delve into it and my parents as are many other parents of that generation who emigrated are quite tight-lipped about the past. Which is understandable given the immensity of trying to build a new life in a strange land.

I thought I would leave you with a video, and letter perhaps if all is well return to share some thoughts.
