Education Must Not Simply Teach Work-it Must Teach Life.

It Is The Stars, It Is The Ancient Stars, It Is The Young And Everlasting Stars!

Here Is The Chance For Young Women And Young Men Of Devotion To Lift Again The Banner Of Humanity And To Walk Toward A Civilization Which Will Be Free And Intelligent; Which Will Be Healthy And Unafraid; And Build In The World A Culture Led By Black Folk And Joined By Peoples Of All Colors And All Races - Without Poverty, Ignorance And Disease!
