Today June 30th  is Congo’s Independence Day. Congolese all over the world are celebrating.  My country of origin is 49 years old; very young, indeed, and still going through massive growing pains. Congolese-Americans are celebrating the day with barbecues and parties. As for me, since I live in a tiny town in Iowa, I spend the day quietly reflecting on all the cherished memories I hold of everything “Congo” in my life.
