UNDERSTANDING JUNETEENTH
“To control a people you must first control what they think about themselves and how they regard their history and culture. And when your conqueror makes you ashamed of your culture and your history, he needs no prison walls and no chains to hold you.” - John Henrik Clarke
WE CAN NOT BE SPOON FED OUR HISTORY MY PEOPLE, LET US USE THIS DAY, TOMORROW AND EVERYDAY TO BEGIN THE WORK OF UNCOVERING OUR OWN TRUTHS AND KNOWLEDGE USING CRITICAL, OPEN-MINDED RESEARCH, DISCOVERY AND SHARING! - Tanya M.
my inspiration
“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 a map of human geography. It tells them where they are but, more importantly, what they must be.”
