Change the way people think and things will never be the same

Black Consciousness is an attitude of the mind and a way of life, the most positive call to emanate from the black world for a long time. Its essence is the realisation by the black man of the need to rally together with his brothers around the cause of their oppression - the blackness of their skin - and to operate as a group to rid themselves of the shackles that bind them to perpetual servitude.

The most potent weapon of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed.

Black Consciousness therefore takes cognizance of the deliberateness of God's plan in creating Black people black.

You are either alive and proud or you are dead, and when you are dead, you can't care anyway.

The power of a movement lies in the fact that it can indeed change the habits of people. This change is not the result of force but of dedication, of moral persuasion.

It becomes more necessary to see the truth as it is if you realize that the only vehicle for change are these people who have lost their personality.
