The "narrator" appropriately brought in the various experiences of that which should not be forgotten by the younger generation. I am not of African descent but I do believe that the medium of dance for any culture has many intentions, one of which is to pass on common historical experiences. Both the dance and the narrative effectively communicated these experiences. It is very important that the younger generation know their roots so that they can persevere in trials, improve life for all, and learn from the past. Thank you for this experience.
