Angela Davis and Turn Around Your Thinking
Subject: Quote of the Day
Quote of the Day - Angela Davis
June 10, 2007
'I hope that you will treasure the approaches and ways
of thinking that you have learned more than the facts
you have accumulated. For you will never discover a
scarcity of facts, and these facts will be presented in
such a way as to veil the ways of thinking embedded in
them. And so to reveal these hidden ways of thinking,
to suggest alternate frameworks, to imagine better ways
of living in evolving worlds, to imagine new human
relations that are freed from persisting hierarchies,
whether they be racial or sexual or geopolitical - yes,
I think this is the work of educated beings. I might
then ask you to think about education as the practice
of freedom. '
Angela Davis
