Stumble Upon Goodness:Coming Home
I wanted to put this short documentary up about going back to Africa to find your roots. As a person of African decent a lot of us dream of going back to Africa to find oneself and learn more about our original culture and heritage. As a black man living in the America I always wanted to see what it would be like to be a in a predominately black country. A country that doesn't discriminate against you or prejudge you because of your color. A place where I can just walk down the street and people not think that I pose some kind of imagined threat. In Africa the black man is welcomed, and for those who are trying to find some peace of mind and a sense of self, I highly recommend going there as a spiritual pilgrimage for yourself. Here is a short documentary that I found that talks about going back to Africa, particularly Ghana where the great majority of the African slave trade took place and where we as a black people were dispersed around the Americas. This mini documentary talks about the up and downs of being an "expat" in Ghana, while trying to find a sense of belonging in another country. Enjoy!
