I started making connections on the flights over. The first plane showed Milk that describes Harvey Milk’s struggle for the rights of homosexuals in San Francisco. This struggle reminds me of Nelson Mandela and the DNC. I am thinking a lot about inclusion and who needs to lead a struggle. Harvey Milk insisted on having a homosexual city manager to represent in the capital. Similarly, from what I had read in Nelson Mandela’s autobiography, the ANC insisted on Africans representing Africans.
On a different note, the sunrise that I saw on the plane flight into Johannesburg had an incredible sunrise. The sky literally had the colors of the rainbow with red along the horizon, to yellows, oranges, greens, and blues, and into a violet sky. South Africa proudly refers to itself as the ‘rainbow nation’ a verbalization of the diversity that I will be studying/experiencing.
