“ Being black is not a matter of pigmentation - being black is a reflection of a mental attitude. ”
Black Consciousness is an attitude of the mind and a way of life, the most positive call to emanate from the black world for a long time.
~ Steven Biko
The revolutionary sees his task as liberation not only of the oppressed but also of the oppressor. Happiness can never truly exist in a state of tension.
Black Consciousness seeks to infuse the black community with a new-found pride in themselves, their efforts, their value systems, their culture, their religion and their outlook to life.
A people without a positive history is like a vehicle without an engine.
