[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 674903, member: 17461"] No, Leafy. It was about Maya thinking back to her own lineage, to the times of slavery and what it would have meant to those ancestors, male or female, to know that she was courageous today. Maya then branched this into all of our immigrant heritages, into the loneliness and bravery and sacrifice those who came before us made [I]for us. [/I]For those who would come. Maya writes to the ancestor, to the grandmother bearing the marks of her struggle and tells her: Here, this is the face you sacrificed for. I was worth it. I am worth it, I pledge to you that I am worth what you paid for me to be as I am. Maya touched every chord perfectly. I have the quote here somewhere, I think. I will find it for us. It was beautiful. Cedar [/QUOTE]
