Really, The Values Under Which My Generation

My Grandfather Was Coloured, My Father Was Negro, And I Am Black.

A More Humane Form Of Capitalism Is About The Best I Think We Can Get. Which Might Sound Very Reformist Or Conservative, But That's Basically Where I Am.

When Europeans Came Upon Real Ruined Cities They Refused To Believe That They Had Been Built By Africans. Here The Past Has Been Distorted And Denied.

We Can't All Work In The Inner City. And, I Don't Even Think That It Is Incumbent Upon An African-american Intellectual To Be Concerned In Their Work With Problems Of Race And Class. It's Just One Of The Things, That We Here At The Dubois Institute, Are Concerned About.

It's Very Lonely Being A Prominent Black Intellectual At An Institution Where You're The Only Prominent Black Intellectual. That Was The Model That Was Followed In The Late 60s When Black Studies Started. You'd Get One Here And One There And One Here, Like Johnny Appleseed.
