BLACK ICON



"Men.... let your children see you dance,children, let your parents hear you laugh...White folks want you to hate your black skin, love your black skin...look at it and love it....from the top of your heads to the souls of your feet, out though your toes and out your fingers...look at your hands, look at them. Now raise them up and kiss'em..." 

- a few lines from the great Beah Richards in a movie I cannot remember. Anyone remember the movie?

"The world you want to create needs you. It needs you to create it. It needs to hear what you have to say. The last word has not been spoken." - Beah Richards (1920-2000), actress, playwright, poet, author
