If The Image One Holds Of One's

I Lived In A Country Where I Couldn't Live Where I Wanted To Live. I Lived In A Country Where I Couldn't Go Where I Wanted To Eat. I Lived In A Country Where I Couldn't Get A Job, Except For Those Put Aside For People Of My Colour Or Caste.

If I'm Remembered For Having Done A Few Good Things And If My Presence Here Has Sparked Some Good Energies, That's Plenty.

I Think The Way I Want To Think. I Live The Way I Want To Live.

So I'm Ok With Myself, With History, My Work, Who I Am And Who I Was.

My Mother Was The Most Amazing Person. She Taught Me To Be Kind To Other Women. She Believed In Family. She Was With My Father From The First Day They Met. All That I Am, She Taught Me.
