More From Ernest Renan

I learned in america a long time ago, the three r's, the principle of three r's - reuse, reduce, recycle. and as i say those words, there are so many things individually we can do to reduce - we don't need to consume as much as we are consuming. reduce. and by reusing, we can reuse a lot of things we just throw into the dumpsite. and reduce the production. the more we reuse, the more we can reduce.
America Long Principles
There is, on the whole, nothing on earth intended for innocent people so horrible as a school. to begin with, it is a prison. but in some respects more cruel than a prison. in a prison, for instance, you are not forced to read books written by the warders and the governor. . . .in the prison you are not forced to sit listening to turnkeys discoursing without charm or interest on subjects that they don't understand and don't care about, and therefore incapable of making you understand or care about. in a prison they may torture your body; but they do not torture your brains.

It is precisely because education is the road to equality and citizenship, that it has been made more elusive for negroes than many other rights. the walling off of negroes from equal education is part of the historical design to submerge him in second class status. therefore, as negroes have struggled to be free they have had to fight for the opportunity for a decent education.
Fighting Opportunity Equality

The slave-breeders and slave-traders, are a small, odious and detested class, among you; and yet in politics, they dictate the course of all of you, and are as completely your masters, as you are the master of your own negroes.
