John Henrik Clarke
I want to make it clear that the black race did not come to the United States culturally empty-handed. The role and importance of ethnic history is in how well it teaches a people to use their own talents, take pride in their own history and love their own memories.

Ridicule is the Burden of Genius...How great are the dangers I face to win...At first, I only laughed at myself. Then I noticed that...You never realize what a good memory you have...Our posturings, our imagined self-importance...For a long time, I thought it was all down to dedication...
