QUOTATIONS OF "BLACK"

"Whenever I use BLACK it relates to some history of Africans in that particular place. It’s the idea of the color BLACK as a metaphor, or as a representation of African-Americans. It’s the notion of BLACK- BLACKNESS - and all its other meanings in relation to the history of race..."

- Fred Wilson



"Most of my fortitude to continue doing the work comes from the moral outrage I feel about the injustices that Black people endure disproportionately daily."

- N. Abdul-Wakil



"In the end, what matters is not skin shade but pan-African consciousness. Loving your complexion, your nose, lips, hair length and texture, no matter what the politics or trends decide, and simply be. That's the problem with us (African folks). We're still learning how to love ourselves. So used to glorifying others and putting others first..."

- Dredlocks Tree

    I absolutely love the Maafa Suite. I've been going back for 8 years now! I first learned of it watching an excerpt on 'Like it Is.' And I been hooked ever since. Rev. Youngblood did a great thing adding this to the repertoire of his church. I'm not an 'organized religion' person but I think if I lived in the Peoples Republic of Brooklyn, then SPCBC would be my church. They do so much for the surrounding community. Its a church that truly "walks the walk"

    I will make an effort to make it to the send off in Coney Island this year, in years past I've overslept regrettably. But this year I will make a special effort.

    Thanks Rod for posting this. This is special.

    The MAAFA Suite is a theater production that everyone should experience.
