Wednesday

Got this drawing from the 8 yo boy I sponsor through Save the
Children. I always write to the program in Kentucky and ask why
all of the drawings he sends me of himself show him as a non
African American. I never get a reply.

Too hot to go out today---the heat factor is over 100º and seniors
were advised to stay indoors. Since I don't drive, I thought my
usual walking, even to the busstop, inadvisible. So I stayed in
and watched the DVD "Black Girl (Borom Sarret)" written and
directed by Ousmane Sembene. It is considered one of the
seminal works of African cinema. It was beautifully constructed
and acted. I'll invite some people over to enjoy it before returning
it.
