In honor of Black History Month
Today being the last day of February, I thought it best to post some thoughts on what has been the key to the progress of the black community. The key to progress has been teh eradication of a key barrier that had been hidden to so many but was clearly revealed in a statement by United States senator Henry Barry, made in 1832, concerning Negro slaves. He said,
“We have, as far as possible, closed every avenue by which light may enter the slave’s mind. If we could completely extinguish the capacity to see light, our work would be complete. They would be on the same level with the beast of the field, and we would be safe.”
From this statement, it’s easy to see that light is the key to progress. In my second book, Quest for Light, I defined light and outlined key strategies in which we can embody more light in our lives.
In honor of Black history month, I will be offering Quest for Light for a discounted price of US $ 9.99 (plus shipping and handling) throughout the month of March 2007. In order to get this discount you will need to email me at Better Life. The email is herman(at)betterlifecompany.com.
