New on TikTok: Marcus Garvey said, “The Negro must have an educational system of his own; based upon the history and tradition of his race. Therefore, the textbooks must be different than the white man’s textbooks.” (Message to the People, Lesson on Education) Think about how this starts in the mind. The conscious is what we see, decide, and direct. The subconscious is what quietly stores impressions, habits, and patterns. For children, especially, the subconscious takes in everything without filter. That’s why Garvey warned us about the inputs—books, music, stories, schooling. What they see daily becomes the program that guides their future. Protect the soil, and the roots will grow strong. Share this with someone who is keeping our wisdom alive.
