"THE CONFERENCE SCHEDULE"
“Because of the painful and unresolved memories of our past, many Blacks who continue to encourage their sisters and brothers to remember the struggles of their ancestors are frequently told by others to “get over slavery and forget the past.” We must be ever mindful that there has never been a culture that achieved greatness by separating itself from its past. No sane people willingly turn their backs on their past. It is only by facing your past that you can accurately perceive reality and determine your destiny.” - Anthony Browder

“Many of us do not know it, but African people have thousands of years of well-recorded deep thought and educational excellence. Teaching and the shaping of character is one of our great strengths. In our worldview, our children are seen as divine gifts of our creator. Our children, their families, and the social and physical environment must be nurtured together. They must be nurtured in a way that is appropriate for a spiritual people, whose aim is to “build for eternity”.
Dr. Asa G. Hilliard
