...perspectives in African studies must lead to the creation of new educational processes which must become the emancipation proclamation to millions of black peoples not freed by Abraham Lincoln. These processes must help break the shackles from the souls of black peoples and offer them the sheer joy of utter and complete freedom. The processes must have the idological base of Negritude and Pan-Africanism. They must be cognizant of the entire social, historical, economic, political, psychological, and ideological factors that connote the very meaning of blackness as new humanism in Pan-African perspective.

When he can say so much so well, it's a pity he can't perceive and cut those places where he says nothing...
...impediment to one's progress toward specialization in a small, though highly exciting, area of research. Other students say there should be more of a balance between our scientific consciousness and our consciousness of the world about us. On the one hand we would want to avoid being utter generalists, with no specific contribution to make. But we must always be watchful against the alternate imbalance: we can be immensely competent technicians, yet narrow and poorly developed as people...
