She teaches our children HOW to Think, not What to Think, advocating for Frederick Douglass' quote, "It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men". Burroughs understood that the children of today will be the parents, teachers, educators, politicians and, yes, police of tomorrow.Nannie Helen Burroughs Outreachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17451185435629844957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22904521.post-27013832857050301392007-06-29T12:15:00.000-04:002007-06-29T12:15:00.000-04:0012 things a Negro need to learn?

Simply put , " you cant be both" America was founded by white people in the promise of the Holy Scriptures as God gave to Jacob Israel. You cant offend a white person. Also, no Mammzer has any inheritance in the kingdom of God.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22904521.post-1154921618109936552006-08-06T23:33:00.000-04:002006-08-06T23:33:00.000-04:00Sister,Thanks for the post.

Grimke, The Afro-American Pulpit in Relation to Race Elevation (prophetic and scathing critique of black preaching and preachers that reads like he was alive today!).<BR/><BR/>Most anything you find by and about Grimke will be worth the read.<BR/><BR/>Try also Daniel A. Payne's A Treatise on Domestic Education. Payne is a contemporary of Grimke and like so many men in that era understood well the need for real responsibiility if the community is to take real advantage of freedom.<BR/><BR/>Great post.

There are a lot different ways you can access this information too. I would strongly suggest starting with the Library first. The library is a host to tons of books, essays, literature, etc. from early authors and essayist. These items can be found not only in books, but through periodicals, magazines, microfilm, etc. You can't get this by searching the internet, but the internet is the second choice of research. But I would start at the library.<BR/><BR/>Let me know what you come up with.

Hopefully we can all encourage each other to willingly break ranks, if those 'ranks' include laziness, irresponsibility and lethargy about where and who we are. We are God's children! Surely we can do better than what is all around us.<BR/><BR/>Anonymous:<BR/><BR/>After coming across this particular piece of wisdom, I am also becoming interested in studying 20th century writers, philosophers and theologians. I can't even imagine the vast amounts of knowledge that are out there that we have either forgotten about or left behind.

They are the guidelines for which all people should follow, not just Negros. This essay should be re-printed (with permission) and circulated at all our public schools across the nation, so that our children will have a better understanding of how to conduct themselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22904521.post-1148306421577022172006-05-22T10:00:00.000-04:002006-05-22T10:00:00.000-04:00That was both "Deep" and "Telling"I sometimes feel...That was both "Deep" and "Telling"<BR/>I sometimes feel like our culture (african american) suffers from "theemperorhasnoclothesitis" <BR/><BR/>We do have a long way to go...and I believe we will get there...we need more people to be willing to break ranks and not go along with those things we see that are wrong...<BR/><BR/>Thanks for doing your part =)mmog37https://www.blogger.com/profile/13607286498740994771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22904521.post-1148261155551208372006-05-21T21:25:00.000-04:002006-05-21T21:25:00.000-04:00Great words of wisdom.
