"For the African teacher, teaching is far more than a job or simply a way to make a living. Students are not “clients� or “customers.� Our students and parents are our family. No sacrifice is too great for that family, for its growth and enhancement.
What is special about an African teacher? It is the world-view and the practice that comes from our world-view, even when it is a dim memory.
A teacher of African ancestry who does not go beyond certification and degrees to know or to embrace an African world-view is not an African! Cultural excellence is the essence of and African teacher. In all of our learning, we must acquire an understanding of ourselves and our heritage. This does not mean that we cannot learn from others. However, we must be critical learners, rejecting anything that is anti-African."
Asa G. Hilliard

"Teaching our youth to read others' works before dealing with their own is like engaging a multicultural agenda without power. It only invites confusion to interpret your works through another's cultural eyes. Intelligent people use their own truth to judge the truth of others. Not the other way around. That is a cultural universal."

"It must be the mission of all Negroes to have pride in their race. To think of the race in the highest terms of human living. To think that God made the race perfect, that there is no one better than you, that you have the elements of human perfection and as such you must love yourselves.
Love yourselves better than anyone else. All beauty is in you and not outside of you, for God made you beautiful. Confine your affection, therefore, to your own race and God will bless you and men will honour you."
Marcus Garvey

"A revolution is more than simply a change of mind. Revolution is conscious engagement with the forces of history, the discarding or overthrowing of a dominating social order and the institution of a new social order. Every revolution fights two phases. First, the struggle (generally violent) to gain control of the productive forces and defend oneself from outside control and/or domination. Second, the struggle for social reconstruction and instituting the new social system.
So far we have had no successful revolution of the second phase. From Haiti onward to independent Africa and the Caribbean, all of the revolutions which have succeeded in phase one have failed in phase two. In cases such as Mozambique or Grenada, phase two was aborted because they were not able to defend phase one against external aggression (Mozambique) or internal conflicts (Grenada). But the deal is to learn from, rather than be discouraged by, the mistakes and failures of our predecessors. Moreover, regardless of the outcome in the past, revolution is still what we need to built a secure future.
One reason we need revolution is Euro-supremacist imperialism has no intention of leaving us alone. We cannot simply withdraw into ourselves because they won't let us."

"All you are ever told in this country about being black is that it is a terrible, terrible thing to be. Now, in order to survive this, you have to really dig down into yourself and re-create yourself, really, according to no image which yet exists in America. You have to impose, in fact - this may sound very strange - you have to decide who you are, and force the world to deal with you, not with its idea of you."
James Baldwin

"If we receive equal education, how long do you expect us to remain your passive servants, or second-class citizens? There is no such thing as a second-class citizen. We are full citizens, or we are not citizens at all. When you teach a man the science of government, he then wants an equal part or position in that government, or else he wants his own government. He begins to demand equality with his master. No man with education equal to your own will serve you. The only way you can continue to rule us is with superior knowledge, by continuing to withhold equal education from our people. "

"One of the first things that the independent African nations did was to form an organization called the Organization of African Unity. This Organization of Afro-American Unity, which has the same aim and objective to fight whoever gets in our way, to bring about the complete independence of people of African descent here in the Western Hemisphere, and first here in the United States, and bring about the freedom of these people by any means necessary."

"Because of their lack of ethical or moral development, there is no conflict between the white's religion and racial oppression. The white race had historically oppressed, exploited, and killed black [sic] people, all in the name of their god Jesus Christ and with the sanction of their churches. For example, it is generally overlooked that the Ku Klux Klan is primarily a religious organization. Also, blacks [sic] should never forget the Pope [Pius XI] blessing the Italian planes and pilots on their way to bombing Ethiopian men, women, and children who only had spears to defend themselves."

"It is by design that today, many black people around the world, cry that they do not want to be culturally connected to Africans. 'Color me human and do not separate me' is the shallow cry of those bent on perpetuating a mythical 'colorless' yet firmly European orientation; as if to suggest that claiming, respecting, and using one's indigenous traditions is anti-human."

"I trust that the Negro peoples of the world are now convinced that the work of the Universal Negro improvement Association is not a visionary one, but very practical, and that it is not so far fetched, but can be realized in a short while if the entire race will only co-operate and work toward the desired end."

"Because, when you take a people out of a cultural container of their own creation and put them into a new kind of cultural chemistry -alien to their being - they take on the traits of the new cultural incubator even if it was not better than what they had.
The black man, in this new container, imitates the European man who basically dislikes women. This imitation of men, who basically feel superior to women, and men who - at the same time are afraid of women - and who deem that women should be controlled and made subordinate produces a type of man who has lost much of what made for the long-enduring African cultures."

"Study is a requirement for our redemption. Yet, every discipline that we study must locate itself firmly within the African tradition. This defines us as a people. While we must be aware of other traditions in order to appreciate the whole human story, we must be aware of how those traditions intersect with African traditions.
It makes no sense for an African to begin an intellectual quest from someone else's standpoint."

"They have created a concept called the 'cultural other' that has influenced their vision of themselves and other people in their contact with Africans, Asians, and people of the Pacific Islands. They have declared most things primitive that they could not understand. They have laughed at the gods of other people.
This cruelty was compounded when, through propaganda and the misuse of the Bible, they taught other people to laugh at their chosen gods and adopt the god of their conqueror."

Our Father which art in the ghetto,
Degraded is your name.
Thy servitude abounds,
Thy will is mocked,
As pie in the sky.
Teach us to demand,
Our share of gold,
Forgive us our docility,
As we demand our share of justice.
Lead us not into complicity,
Deliver us from our fears.
For ours is thy soverignity
The power and the liberation
For ever and ever..., Amen.
Reverend Canaan Banana
The Gospel According to the Ghetto

"Black independent schools are important not only for how they teach but for what is taught. Their purpose of instilling within Black children an 'Afrikan Worldview' is the most important activity those children will ever experience. Black parents whose children are not in independent schools should at a minimum expose them to a well-structured supplemental Black educational program."

"What the European has forgotten and made his victims forget is that over half of human history was over before most of the people of Africa and Asia knew that a European was in the world. The emergence of Europeans, or white people, as the handlers of world power and their ability to convince millions of people that this is the way things should be is the greatest single propaganda miracle in history."

"Human-made rational order has its place but is only meaningful when understood to be a small part of an ordered whole. It is only on the level of the spirit that rationality can be positively integrated into the human context. When that level is not reached, that which is rationally ordered merely succeeds in distorting the environment and imparing the spirit."
