| | Food for Thought... | ![school boys]() "We now stand at...a place where we must either step forward or backward. If we goes backward we die; if we goes forward it will be with the hope of a greater life. Those of us who have developed our minds are compelled, by duty, to step out among the millions of the masses... The time has come for those of us who have the vision of the future to inspire our people to a closer kinship, to a closer love of self, because it is only through this appreciation of self will we be able to rise..." ~Marcus Garvey Let's Get It Together! "We are the leaders that we are waiting for!" ~Susan Taylor, Essence Magazine | |
