Preface, 2

     I sat wide-eyed, at the feet of the brilliant author, Alex Haley, as he shared with us his fascinating story of his family's history. Alex shared that, as a child, he would listen from the doorway as his elders gathered on the porch reciting tales of the old African, Kunta Kinte, being taken from his village and brought to this strange land called America, where he was stripped of his dignity, culture, security, and humanness, and forced to live as a slave.

     Because we were preparing for Roots 2, Alex spoke mostly of Kunta's offspring, and how the African had left his mark of strength and perseverance. The later generations of family that followed would become educated, fight to vote, go off to college, build their own homes, have their own businesses, and one would even become one of the world's most prolific authors. There would be many great achievements from the Kinte lineage The old African would have been proud to know that all his suffering had not been in vain.

     Alex told us one of the most daunting, yet rewarding, journeys each of us could ever take, would be to travel back down the road our ancestors had paved for us. He implored us to question older members of our families to discover our own family histories, no matter what we unearthed.

With all due respect, what does this have to do with All My Children?

She's having a laugh at our expense at this rate. Isn't she?

 

Like... This is an elaborate joke. Right? This can't be real.

I'm guessing that is part of Debbi Morgan's memoir.

Yes, you are right.

Donna, you were doing okay in the GL thread for a minute and then you go and pull this. 
 

Please keep your postings to actual conversation and engagement with other posters!

 

My apologies to everyone else for this post that also has nothing to do with AMC.

There is a little bit more to the memoir's Preface (part of a page) and then it begins on Chapter 1, which is only 5 pages long.  I'll put it to the side for now.

No one needs the whole book.

Susan Lucci said she was literally shocked & blindsided by the cancellation. She really did not see it coming. And, she blamed Frons, which makes all the sense in the world.

You don't have to worry your poor little self about seeing it. I won't be showing it to to you.
