Quotes
“The purpose of education is not just to get a good job with great companies. The real purpose of education is to improve and further the interests of one’s group and to ensure its survival.
The Indians, the Chinese, the Jews and other cultural groups have understood the importance of their history.

– The late Professor Amos Wilson
“The last four or five hundred years of European contact with Africa has produced a body of literature presenting Africa in a very bad light and Africans in lurid terms. This was the need to justify the slave trade and slavery.”
