REVERENCE FOR THE TRUTH

"May those, whose holy task it is To guide impulsive youth, Fail not to cherish in their souls A reverence for the truth; For teachings which the lips impart Must have their source within the heart." --Charlotte L. Forten, "A Parting Hymn," abstracted from THE BLACK MAN HIS ANTECEDENTS GENIUS AND ACHIEVEMENTS by William Wells Brown (2014)
