Achievement is rooted in good self-esteem...

--From... the Founder of Black History Month --

"When you control a man's thinking you do not have to worry about his actions. You do not have to tell him not to stand here or go yonder. He will find his "proper place" and will stay in it. You do not need to send him to the back door. He will go without being told. In fact, if there is no back door, he will cut one for his special benefit. His questionable education makes it necessary."

                                                    ~ Quote from Dr. Carter Woodson

Although published more than six decades ago, the impact of these poignant words by Dr. Carter G. Woodson in his book:  The Miseducation of the Negro   -- published in 1933--has continued to resonate throughout the minds and hearts of Black people around the globe.

* Known for writing numerous books about the contributions of black Americans into the national spotlight, received a Ph.D at Harvard University

* Founded the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History in 1915, founded the Journal of Negro History in 1916

According to Dr. Woodson, because the mind has been subjected to control, the ideal of inferiority has become a permanent resident, accepting of discrimination to the point where it seems natural.

We have the choice to find our "proper place and stay in a state of uncivilized activities," or to perpetuate the visions of our forefathers and achieve the credibility and fair place which each race deserves.

Education is the key to the future. The future belongs to those who prepare for it today. Learn as much as you can learn...read everything you can..."

~ Quote from Malcolm X  (black activist leader)

Malcolm X (1925 – 1965) was born as Malcolm Little in Omaha, Nebraska, in 1925. His father was a Baptist minister and a strong devotee of the Black leader Marcus Garvey. Garvey’s message, as many readers will be familiar, was that Black people in America would never be able to live in peace and harmony with white Americans and their only hope of salvation was to move as a people back to their roots in Africa. Malcolm’s father died when he was six and his mother was put in a mental home when he was about twelve.

Malcolm went on to become a major figure in the fight against racism in the United States. He became a dynamic spokesman for the Black Muslims. He was feared by many, he was respected by many.

He never stopped wanting to learn. Just before his death in 1965, he maintained that one of the things he most regretted in his life was his lack of an academic education. He stated that he would be quite willing to go back to school and continue where he had left off and go on to take a degree.

 “I would just like to study. I mean ranging study, because I have a wide-open mind. I’m interested in almost any subject you can mention”.

He ran a regular class for young people where he told them---

 “We have got to get over the brainwashing we had … get out of your mind what the (white) man put in it … Read everything."
