2020-06-0803 minThis Much I KnowThis Much I Know About Racism (R.I.P. George Floyd)This Much I Know About Racism: I was a teenager during the apartheid uprisings in South Africa. I’ve witnessed my people being pushed to the edge. Now, I don’t pretend to be perfect, or say everything perfectly. However, if seeing people looting shops and burning buildings upset you more than a white cop killing a black man, then you’re not part of the solution. Protesting doesn’t damage the cause because I was part of the school boycotts in the 1980s, and we beat the monster called apartheid.

2020-06-0506 minThis Much I KnowPoem: A woman's fightSince it started trending on social media in 2017, two things have come to define the #metoo moment. One is the powerful public testimony of women and men who have experienced sexual harassment and abuse in Hollywood. The second is the occasional sacking or bringing down of the powerful wrongdoer. Filmmaker, Harvey Weinstein, is one of many powerful men in Hollywood who was accused of sexually harassing female actors. He was since found guilty. Selwyn Milborrow wrote the poem "A woman's fight" and said it was inspired by the #MeToo movement.

2020-06-0402 minThis Much I KnowPoem: SS MendiThe sinking of the SS Mendi (21 February 1917) became one of South Africa's worst tragedies of the First World War (1914-1919). A total of 616 South Africans, including 607 black troops serving in the South African Native Labour Contingent, died when the steamship sank in the English Channel on the way to France. The incident happened in the early hours of 21 February 1917, when another ship, the SS Darro rammed the SS Mendi. Selwyn Milborrow wrote this poem after a poetry writing workshop held at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Art Gallery in Port Elizabeth, South Africa.
