On his own, therefore, the black man wishes to explore his surroundings, and test his possibilities, in other words to make his freedom real by whatever means he deems fit. p.44 https://padlet.com/ratrescue28/a2iv6oq817y0/wish/229710576 ~Hannah Hartley]]> 2018-02-08 17:40:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ratrescue28/a2iv6oq817y0/wish/229710576 https://padlet.com/ratrescue28/a2iv6oq817y0/wish/229710600 "Black consciousness makes the black man see himself as being complete in himself. It makes him less dependent and more free to express his manhood. At the end of it all, he cannot tolerate attempts by anybody to dwarf the significance of his manhood."

As we proceed further towards the achievements of our goals let us talk more about ourselves and our struggle and less about whites.
