Wednesday Thought 16: Africa

Hey Gentle Reader, with African problems permanently in the newspapers and on our TV screens, I wanted to use the blog to highlight some positive thoughts about the Cradle of Life.


You can't hate the roots of a tree and not hate the tree.
You can't hate Africa and not hate yourself.
 
Malcolm X

 

I dream of the realization of the unity of Africa, whereby its leader combine their efforts to solve the problems of this continent. I dream of the deserts, forests and all our great wilderness.

Nelson Mandela




Look to Africa, for there a king will be crowned.

 
Marcus Garvey
 


For Africa to me...is more than a glamorous fact. It is a historical truth. No man can know where he is going unless he knows exactly where he has been and exactly how he arrived at his present place.

Maya Angelou
 
 
 

The first light of human consciousness and the world's first civilizations were in Africa.
