WHAT IS YOUR SKILL?
from TRUTHE BE TOLD SHOW!! Hosted by TRUTHE BE TOLD
Carter G Woodson says, "Mis-Education of the Negro: What Negroes are now being taught does not bring their minds into harmony with life as they must face it. When a negro student works his way through college by polishing shoes he does not think of making a special study of the science underlying the production and distribution of leather and its products that he may someday figure this into a business. The Negro boys sent to college by a mechanic father, seldom dreams of learning mechanical engineering to build upon the foundation his father has laid, rather in years to come he may become a contractor or a Consulting engineer, instead. The Negro girl who goes to college hardly wants to return to her mother if she is a Washerwoman, yet if this girl could come back with sufficient knowledge of physics and chemistry and Business Administration to use her mother's work as a nucleus for a modern Steam Laundry... the so-called education of Negro College graduates leads them to throw away opportunities which they have and to go in quest of those opportunies which they do not find!"
