Below are links that will enrich your knowledge of the past, present, and selfless contributions made by just a FEW of our MANY great African Americans. As you read the wealth of information on this page, think about how our world would be today without the contributions. Also, recognize the unbending focus and intensity of their efforts despite repeated rejections
and unfulfilled expectations.
We must continue to remember and respect our heritage by never saying good-bye to yesterday, for we are still standing on their shoulders—yesterday made our present possible . . .

Points Theatre - Empowerment Through Edutainment - The famous historian, Arnold Toynbee, once commented, "When we classify mankind by color, the only primary race that has not made a creative contribution to any civilization is the Black race." For 15 years and 2,500 performances, "1001 Inventions" has been an unusually funny antidote for this gross misconception.

Famous Quotes . . .
Famous Quotes ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.:
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
Our nettlesome task is to discover how to organize our strength into compelling power.
A man who won't die for something is not fit to live.
If a man is called to be a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the host of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great streetsweeper who did his job well.
"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
There is nothing more dangerous than to build a society, with a large segment of people in that society, who feel that they have no stake in it; who feel that they have nothing to lose. People who have a stake in their society, protect that society, but when they don't have it, they unconsciously want to destroy it.
Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. It is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding; it seeks to annihilate rather than to convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love.
“Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”
I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become reality. I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.
Tavis Smiley Famous Quotes ~ Tavis Smiley - "Remember the
five "B's":
~ BE READY When your opportunity comes.
~ BE REAL
You will never be a success trying to transcend who you are. You have to embrace yourself, including your Blackness.
~ BE SMART Learn to think critically for yourself.
~ BE A SERVANT
Your generation, in many respects has it all twisted, it ain't about the ice and the bling-bling, it's about being a servant. Cornel West put it this way; you can't lead the people if you don't love the people. And you can't save the people if you don't serve the people.
~ BE HUMBLE
Because the toes you step on today may be connected to the behind you have to kiss tomorrow."
Famous Quotes
SUSAN L. TAYLOR "In every crisis there is a message. Crises are nature's way of forcing change--breaking down old structures, shaking loose negative habits so that something new and better can take their place."
MADAME C. J. WALKER -- "I had to make my own living and my own opportunity--Don't sit down and wait for the opportunities to come; you have to get up and make them."
DR. CHARLES H. EPPS, JR. (Howard University) “I don’t consider myself brilliant, but I learned that I could work as hard as anybody to achieve what I wanted to achieve. I was willing to go without the latest jacket, sneakers or whatever. It is more important TO GET A GOOD EDUCATION.”
COLIN POWELL
MUHAMMAD ALI "Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them--a desire, a

sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and the strong. Because some day in life you will have been all of these."
REV. JESSE JACKSON"We must turn to each other and NOT on each other."
ALICE WALKER "No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow."
BOOKER T. WASHINGTON "One cannot hold another down in the ditch without staying down in the ditch with him."
