WTC Berry is a nearly unknown global health worker whose family had the foresight to encourage him to write his memoirs as therapy for a stroke. Berry had the honesty to tell us that his influence for going to Africa was watching a movie portraying the adventure of working for the colonial service. One of the actors in that movie, Paul Robeson, had the bravery to declare that the movie was an embarrassment to him and that he hated the way it - and he - portrayed Africans. In this song, Robeson’s character praises not Africans, but the colonial governor Sanders. And finally, Berry had the foresight to title his memoirs Before the Wind of Change, and leave unresolved the ambiguity of what he felt about that wind.
