The power of knowledge

This weeks speaker was so refreshing , and a joy to hear from. The pop quiz she gave us was so informative and eyeopening. Who knew that we would be the ones turning down drugs ? Who knew that black males scored higher on the SAT than black females ? . it was a nice change to hear something positive about our people , it made me so proud to be black , as usual. However her message behind the pop quiz was more powerful than the facts itself , educating ourselves. Not just in the classroom but on the facts about our people , if we know the truth was can prove the false once produced to keep stereotypes alive null and void. We have to know the good and the bad about our people because in order to change something you have to have your facts straight . She just reiterated what Dr. Carr had said in a previous lecture , education is never for yourself but to use for the advancement of your people !
