Show Notes
- 6:24 Michigan State is one of the top schools for African history in the country and is also a school where Magic Johnson went to, and his family is from East Lansing.
- 12:47 They used to watch black people like hawks, you cannot go in a store without being followed and looked at there.
- 17:55 I did not like South Africa at first. Hated it with a passion. And I think it's because I was shy, and I wouldn't let myself go out and meet people.
- 20:45 South Africa, it really helped me understand a lot of things about myself that I wouldn't have understood just being in the US.
- 30:28 Living on the Neck, living on a back road, you really get to know yourself and you get to entertain yourself.
