@@gwen_kingdomdaughter24 Yes, our ancestors do. The word angel was made up by the Europeans who copied from the Ma'at who was real from Kemet Egypt. They took from some of the principles from the Ma'at and called it commandments.
I love that woman! I really appreciate her insights about preserving black culture from previous generations so it is not forgotten (manner of dress, speech, etc). She would be horrified by what is going on today in 2021.
AND Ms. Rolle's 'Night on Broadway' was conservative, because stageplays are $200-300 per ticket! AND I have known Woodie King for decades, as my mother Juanita Clark started with Ruby Dee and others in his Henry Street Settlement performances. Ms. Rolle was a friend of late mom's and a guest in our Home! RIP to my Queens!
Why would she have to let that be known? Were people in the habit of disrespecting her? What you're describing would be someone with a chip on their shoulder due to an inferiority complex. I don't think she gives that aura in any way.
Something about her , mysteriously reminds me of my dear mother, ironically enough, Helen Martin reminds me of my grandmother, and John Amos looks so much like my father.
My late mom Juanita Clark did many plays under the production & direction of Woodie King at the Henry Street Settlement in NY. What's loving is Ms. Esther Rolle was in my kitchen enjoying coffee & convo with my Mom! QUEENS simply QUEENS! 💙
Bobbie usually starts her interviews with such a CHEERY mood I was at first surprised to hear her start with “how many times have you done this play?” I can tell she was nervous , wonder why… it’s your JOB , a privileged job at that .
