It is a strange man who seeks relief from op ression by enslaving agroup of people whom he later
condemns for seeking relief.

Black consciousness: the fierce pride that grew out of the ashes of repression, the integrity that was
tempered in the consuming fires of hatred, the definition from self-values rather than from imposed-values.
Appreciate it. The Black Student Union taught Black consciousness every day of the year, and in February
publicized it for a week.
Dick Gregory gave a packed house his light and heavy energy, his embrace of truth and righteous satire.
Black fashion and food were prepared by BSU members. A talent show changed the pace in mid-week. On
the last night a party was thrown in the student union to publicize the opening of the Black Cultural Center
—the university's classroom for Black consciousness.
