I am just jumping in because Octavia is my absolute favorite author. I love all of her books but I really enjoyed Wild Seed and Mind of My Mind the most. Fell in love with Anyawu and her abilities.

Wow I still miss her so much.

No, I'm not white nor do I have any white in my family. I'm shocked that you asked. What would make you think that???

YES !

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER !

This is why it was so important to keep us ignorant and convince us that trying to get an education was trying to be white.

What if the Zulus had had it ? There would not have ever been a white ruled South Africa.
