In part I of our People series, “Grandpa, Is Everything Black Bad?”,
Montsho questioned the goodness of his black skin because he saw so many
black things in his life that were bad; bad guys on TV wore black, black
cats brought bad luck, people wore black to funerals and so on. Montsho
then learned of his proud heritage from his Grandfather whose wise words
and magical drum helped Montsho to identify himself with his African heritage.
At the end of “Grandpa, Is Everything Black Bad?”, Montsho asked his Grandfather
whether white people had a heritage too? His grandfather replied, “We all
do.” So, Montsho’s lesson continues as he learns that “We All Have A Heritage”.
Join Montsho as his Grandfather introduces the world to him...
