Today's quotes

Poet Rev. Nadine Drayton-Keen sent this message to her students for Black History Month.

"Dear Students, they didn't steal slaves. They stole scientists, doctors, architects, teachers, entrepreneurs, astronomers, fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, etc., and made them slaves. Sincerely, your ancestors."

Two Pockets

Everyone must have two pockets.

In the right pocket are to be the words:

“For my sake was the world created.” (Mishnah Sanhedrin 4:5)

And in the left: “I am but dust and ashes.” (Genesis 18:27)
