FROM NEWTON TO EINSTEIN TO SPINOZA TO EUCLID I HAVE BOUNCED; UPON AUGUSTINE, TERTULLIAN, ORIGEN, PLOTINUS, PLATO, ARISTOTLE, I HAVE POUNCED: NOT TO MASTER, BUT MERELY TO MEET; NOT EVEN TO GRASP, SO MUCH, AS TO GREET.
ALSO, THE BIBLE, THE QUR’AN, LAO TZU.
HOWARD THURMAN, BENJAMIN MAYS, REV.DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.; MACHIAVELLI; SHAKESPEARE; EMERSON, THOREAU, MARK TWAIN, WILLIAM WELLS BROWN, LANGSTON HUGHES, BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, MARCUS GARVEY, FRANZ FANON;
J.A. ROGERS, JOHN G. JACKSON, MASSEY, CHANCELLOR WILLIAMS, GEORGE G.M. JAMES, CHEIKH ANTA DIOP, THEOPHILE OBENGA, AYI KWEH ARMAH; ANNA COOPER, MARGARET WALKER, JOY DEGRUY, PAULI MURRAY, RICHARD WESLEY; ODEN, CHINWEIZU; MANY, MANY, MORE, YET GROWING.
THE QUESTION IS “WHY?” TO WHAT END DO I READ, OR HAVE I READ THESE AUTHORS?
I KNOW NOW. AMEN.
