Five Main Points:



Family

We are not a problem people; we are a people with problems. We have historic strengths; we have survived because of family. The Black Family of the future will foster our liberation, enhance our self-esteem, and shape our ideas and goals. - Dorothy Height


Health

There are no incurable diseases, only incurable people.
The Herbs are for the healing of the Nation. –Dr. Sebi


Economics

The economic philosophy of Black Nationalism only means that our people need to be re-educated into the importance of controlling the economy of the community in which we live, which means that we won't have to constantly be involved in picketing and boycotting other people in other communities in order to get jobs. -Malcolm X


Education

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
-Nelson Mandela

"If you are in a country that is progressive, the woman is progressive. If you're in a country that reflects the consciousness toward the importance of education, it's because the woman is aware of the importance of education. But in every backward country you'll find the women are backward, and in every country where education is not stressed it’s because the women don't have education."-Malcolm X


Spread Love

"The true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love...."-Che Guevera
