South End


One Sunday my dad took me and my sister around the area formally known as South End. We went to where my dad and my grandfather grew up, before they were removed from their homes and put into specific racially segregated areas. It's so strange to think this happened to my parents an their friends, but the more I return home, the more I realize how scared this country and its people still are from apartheid. Julian's advice on 'meeting people where they're at and working with them to move forward together' has never made more sense.
