The great and iconic Dr. Booker T. Washington, founder and first president of Tuskegee Institute, popularized the motto, credo, and the practice of "hands, head, and heart," relative to directing the education and the elevation of freed black people in the post-Reconstruction era and well beyond.http://americanradioworks.publicradio.org/…/btwashington.ht…
That was good. Indeed, that was very good advice and practice for a people who were newly "UP FROM SLAVERY;" who were accustomed to working with their hands, heads, and hearts, as slaves, and as free blacks, which 10% of all blacks were in 1861.
Booker T. Washington's classic book, published in year 1900, was autobiographical and pedagogical for black people, who were catching hell from all sides, in their 'nadir.' UP FROM SLAVERY iterates and reiterates throughout its length and breadth, with ample anecdotes, incidents, and moral teachings, the vital, central importance of this familiar "three-H" creed.
But, what of the rest of the body? What of the torso, the groin, the legs, and the feet. No body part is superior to any other. All parts have great symbolic and material value to their possessors, as the Bible so beautifully illustrates in 1 Corinthians 12: 14-27. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/…
The feet represent stability. The legs represent mobility. The groin represents fertility, and the torso represents ability . These along with the hands , head and heart complete the man and woman, who together complete the other.
It is time now to complete the important praxis urged by Booker T. Washington by reading or re-reading UP FROM SLAVERY, to secure its blessed teachings. For Truth be known, Dr. Washington was as divinely sent as President Barack Obama, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., or anyone else. Each and every one of us are divinely sent vital parts in our deliverance.
