"The history of Kmt will remain suspended in air and cannot be written correctly until Kmtyw historians connect it with the history of Egypt [...] The Kmtyw historian who evades the problem of Egypt is neither modest or objective, nor unruffled, he is ignorant, cowardly, and neurotic." [Mhenga Cheikh Anta Diop]


 


"Every form of true education trains the student in self-reliance." [Mhenga John Henrik Clarke Jr.]


 


"A good teacher, like a good entertainer first must hold his audience's attention, then he can teach his lesson." [Mhenga John Henrik Clarke Jr.]


 


"The events which transpired five thounited snakesnd years ago; Five years ago or five minutes ago, have determined what will happen five minutes from now; five years From now or five thounited snakesnd years from now. All history is a current event." [Mhenga John Henrik Clarke Jr.]


 


"Yes, I'm an extremist. The black race... is in extremely bad condition. You show me a black man who isn't an extremist and I'll show you one who needs psychiatric attention!" [Mhenga Malcolm X]


 


"People involved in a revolution don't become part of the system; they destroy the system... The Negro revolution is no revolution because it condemns the system and then asks the system it has condemned to accept them..." [Mhenga Malcolm X]


 


"When a person places the proper value on freedom, there is nothing under the sun that he will not do to acquire that freedom. Whenever you hear a man saying he wants freedom, but in the next breath he is going to tell you what he won't do to get it, or what he doesn't believe in doing in order to get it, he doesn't believe in freedom. A man who believes in freedom will do anything under the sun to acquire . . . or preserve his freedom." [Mhenga Malcolm X]


 


"I for one believe , 'lif you give people a thorough understanding of what confronts them and the basic causes , ' produce it, they'll create their own program, and when the people create a program, you get action." [Mhenga Malcolm X]
