The Souls of Black Folks - WEB DuBois

 

Wisdom

"Science is inexhaustible.  Miracles are eternal".  -Bambara Proverb

"Negroes of Africa have and always have had their own ideas about the nature of the universe, time and space, about appearance and reality and about freedom and necessity." -Carter G. Woodson

"In Africa, everything is celebrated-even death. Pain and joy sit side by side." -Tom Feelings

"It is man who counts. 

I call upon gold:

It answers not.

I call upon rich fabric:

It answers not.

It is man who counts."

-Traditional Akan poem

"Through wisdom I have dived down into the great sea, and have seized in the place of her depths a pearl whereby I am rich.  I went down like the great iron anchor, whereby men anchor ships for the night on the high seas, and I received a lamp which lighteth me, and i came up by the ropes of the boat of understanding" -The Queen of Sheba from the Kebra Nagast

"The more you read, the more you know.

The more you know, the smarter you grow.

The smarter you grow, the stronger your voice, when speaking your mind or making a choice." -Library Poster Massachusetts

 

"Girls are like apples on trees.  The best ones are at the top of the tree.  The boys don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt.  Instead, they get the rotten apples-from the ground that aren't as good, but easy.  So the apples up top think something wrong with them when in reality, they're amazing.  They just have to wait for the right boy to come along, the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree." -Unknown

 

"Black People Resisted

They resisted the practice of slavery and the trade in slaves from its inception in the United States in the early 1600s to its end in the middle 1800s.

They resisted it on the ships from Africa.

They resisted it in the fields and in the big house; they resisted by organized rebellion; and they poisoned and committed infanticide and suicide. They always ran away. And some master was always hunting for them.

Their will set against the master's will, they fought, fought back, and died. They also survived. They took the lash and the burn. They lost but they won.

By the strength of their determination, led by the North Star and set aboard the box cars of the Underground Railroad-by their resistance-slaves won in the cause of human freedom."

." -Unknown

 

"If all the green things were taken from earth life would die

If all the Four legged animals were taken from earth life would die

If all the Winged creatures were taken from earth life would die

If all the Crawling were taken from earth life would die

If all the Swimming were taken from earth life would die

But if all human beings were taken from the earth, life would flourish

That is how insignificant we are."

-Indian Elder

"Accept your own, and be yourself." -Hon. Elijah Muhammed
