“I remember my emotions the day we watched Nelson Mandela walk out of prison Writing & literature in South Africa during the anti-apartheid years, became a ‘cultural weapon.’”

It struck me that our history is contained in the home we live in, that we are shaped by the ability of these simple structures to resist being defiled

You had to use it to fight apartheid & some of us resisted that in the end, you recognize that you are facing a government that has no scruples about using culture & art to oppress you.
