American talk show host, Oprah Winfrey is very popular in South Africa. I recently watched a very moving show on confession and forgiveness that I thought very appropriate to our situation. It is not about gross human rights violations, it is about something we South Africans know very well: racial prejudice and discrimination. In 1954 the United States Supreme Court made its historic and very unpopular decision to end school apartheid. It was opposed by politicians and angry mobs of whites. The people who suffered most in this angry war on racism were the black school children. Nowhere was this more evident than in Little Rock, Arkansas. Here are a few scenes from Oprah’s programme.
