“Among Negroes of my generation there was not only little direct acquaintance or consciously inherited knowledge of Africa, but much distaste and recoil because of what the white world taught them about the Dark Continent. There arose resentment that a group like ours, born and bred in the United States for centuries, should be regarded as Africans at all. They were, as most of them began gradually to assert, Americans. My father's father was particularly bitter about this. He would not accept an invitation to a 'Negro' picnic. He would not segregate himself in any way.” WorldWayShouldLittlesStatesFatherBornDarkWhiteUnitedAcceptingUnited StatesGenerationsGroupsCenturyTaughtDirectBitterResentmentContinentsAcquaintanceInvitationsMy GenerationPicnicsDistasteRecoil Author:W.

“If you choose to do both [acting and directing] on a set, than you're admitting that you understand that everyone is in it for the same goal and it's a collaborative experience. You can't really jump into being an actor, and than direct yourself. At some point, you have to be willing to accept other people's opinions. I think that's helpful. If you try to micro-manage and control all of it, than you're probably heading for disaster.” PeopleIfsThinkingTryingActorsGoalActingAcceptingOpinionWillingDirectDisasterManageHelpfulYou ChooseHeadingsAdmitting Author:Rebecca Hall
