Loving this quote from the CAC’s (@cac-org.bsky.social) teacher Dr. Barbara Holmes (1943-2024). Happy Black History Month 🖤
“Who could have thought with all the efforts— they took our drums away, took our culture, our language, separated us from one another. How could we ever reclaim anything? But in our DNA was written the story of who we are, so that in 2024 I could do a DNA test and pull up Igbo Nigerian ancestors on my dad’s side and Tikar Cameroon folk on my mom‘s. Now look at God: all that erasure effort was for naught. It made no sense. It was a useless effort. They wasted their lives doing it because I know who I am. And every person who has been told they’re White needs to do the same. They need to do their DNA. I’ve had several White folks say to me, ‘Well I’m just White.’ What does that mean? Are you Irish, Italian, Swedish? Come on, now! It’s a big world.” Dr. Barbara Holmes “Living in a Crowded Cosmos,” CAC Living School recording
