Read the passage by a man discussing his country, Senegal, immediately after independence.
"Forty years ago, we had nothing--no doctors, no engineers, no writers. We had no university. We thought a flag and a national anthem were enough for independence... That is now a thing of the past. One has to count on the people. And despite all the problems, success for us is a certainty. Every day we're working hard, because we're dreaming of a better quality of life." -- Ousmane Sembene, filmaker
