Today was the Passing of Dr Amos Wilson. I consider him to be among the Top greatest Black Minds of the 20th Century
Here are some of his brilliant Quotes
“When you are filled with self-hate your mind is reversed. Meaning you will love the things that destroy you, and you will hate the things that advance your growth. – Dr. Amos Wilson
“To manipulate history is to manipulate consciousness; to manipulate consciousness is to manipulate possibilities; and to manipulate possibilities is to manipulate power.” – Dr. Amos Wilson
“If our study of Black history is merely an exercise in feeling good about ourselves, then we will die feeling good. We must look at the lessons that history teaches us. We must understand the tremendous value of the study of history for the re-gaining of power. If our education is not about gaining real power, we are being miseducated and mislead and we will die “miseducated and mislead.” – Dr. Amos Wilson
“Why does the Black man say “Freedom is doing what I want to do.” Why is it that everything “he wants to do” enriches the European?” – Dr. Amos Wilson
“The Black community has run the longest, most successful boycott in history—the boycott against their own Black businesses.” – Dr. Amos Wilson
