Cry The Beloved Country by Alan Paton
I sometimes watch Encore. They have a channel that is devoted to Black films. I love Black films. I could not sleep early this morning so I got up and watched Cry The Beloved Country. It was wonderful. There were several quotes in this film that stood out, but the one that stood out the most was...
"For it is the dawn that has come, as it has come for a thousand centuries, never failing. But when that dawn will come, of our emancipation, from the fear of bondage and the bondage of fear, why, that is a secret."
Anyway if you have a chance to see it, and you are into this type of film, I believe you will enjoy it.

Sounds good, and that excerpt from the dialog speaks a thousand words...
Hey Gardenia!!
You are not kidding that this spoke 1000 words. It is truly a profound film with about 10 memorable quotes.
This book made me realized how terrible the situation is in South Africa. I feel like I was there and it made me become aware that the grass is not always greener on the other side. I recommend this book to anyone who has an opened mind, and wants to learn more about cultural differences.
