To me, a diaspora has always meant the movement of a people from their homelands to another land due to persecution or ethnic cleansing and has never meant the voluntary return of such groups to those same homelands. It has never applied to individuals. I had never heard of Harriet Tubman but clearly she was a great lady. The fact that she was played by a British actress in the movie of her life, rather than by an African American actor, has been controversial in the US, even though she did a good job and I think that boycotting the film "Wicked" in protest is pointless. It was unfortunate though that she responded to criticism by saying the wrong things (whatever it was she said) Very original to make New Year resolutions NOT to do something! Not that I have ever made a resolution to do or not to do something!
