We have been assigning fault and blame for a long time. We won't stop doing that, and we shouldn't, but I'm with you, let's credit and applaud success. Look at the obvious achievments and patently possible. Think of ways to build from those.

One of my boyhood heroes was Nat Turner. Today's uprising can take a different form, one that suits the condition.

How about turning depressing places like Mattapan Square into safe places where all people can go specifically to enjoy diverse black cultures, an African North End, an African Chinatown! Black business people unite, attract and employ, get the green. Black artists, keep on. Black professionals, profess. Black teachers, teach. Think back to black power, black pride. Think forward. Now is the time. Black is an adjective. It means what we make it mean and it is redefined every day by everyone.]]> Comment on Be A Teacher tag:blog.candelariasilva.com,2008-07-21:1212658 LeeAnn http://www.librarianlee.blogspot.com 2008-07-22T21:18:39Z 2008-07-21T13:11:55Z Comment on Singing the Wrong Lyrics tag:blog.candelariasilva.com,2008-07-21:1212650 LeeAnn http://www.librarianlee.blogspot.com 2008-07-22T21:19:02Z 2008-07-21T13:10:21Z Comment on Singing the Wrong Lyrics tag:blog.candelariasilva.com,2008-07-18:1207100 Anonymous http://www.duchessomnium.com 2008-07-18T21:48:29Z 2008-07-18T19:54:54Z Comment on Singing the Wrong Lyrics tag:blog.candelariasilva.com,2008-07-18:1205460 Paula 2008-07-18T09:11:23Z 2008-07-18T09:11:23Z
