Legacy
Description
Explores the legacy of slavery on mother/daugher relationships in African Caribbean culture. As they pay tribute to their ancestors, a daughter asks her Caribbean- born mother why she was taught both Afro-Caribbean and European religious tradition. The mother admits that there was conflict about which ideology to teach, so a mix of Cumina, Catholicism and Anglicanism resulted. Though alienated by the beating she suffered as a child, the now- adult daughter describes her mother's understanding when, during college, she told her mother about her sexuality and her mother was lovingly accepting.
