“We live in a highly industrialized society and every member of the Black nation must be as academically and technologically developed as possible. To wage a revolution, we need competent teachers, doctors, nurses, electronics experts, chemists, biologists, physicists, political scientists, and so on and so forth. Black women sitting at home reading bedtime stories to their children are just not going to make it.”

““With your air indifferent and imperious
At a stroke our mad poetics to confute—”
And—”Are we then so serious?””

—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
