You should not bear insults.

History is not everything, but it is a starting point. History is a clock that people use to tell their political and cultural time of day. It is a compass they use to find themselves on the map of human geography. It tells them where they are but, more importantly, what they must be.

You have to convince the adults that if a child is to learn his culture, he or she will have to see his mother and father reading about it, and explaining it to him. Then it gets a legitimacy it otherwise would never have. Until then, his learning is limited.

I question the political judgement of those who would have the nerve to paint Christ white with his obvious African nose, lips and wooly hair.

If people do not know where they have been and what they have been they don't know what they are. They don't know where they going to have to go or where they still have to be.

If God is love, then God has no stepchildren to love.

Africa is our center of gravity, our cultural and spiritual mother and father, our beating heart, no matter where we live on the face of this earth.
