"We must begin at the cradle and teach our babies that they must do something for self. They must not be like we, their fathers, who look to the slave-master's and slave-master's children for all. We must teach our children now with an enthusiasm exceeding that which our slave-masters used in having our forefathers imbed the seed of dependency within us. We must stop the process of giving our brain power, labor and wealth to our slave-master's children. We must eliminate the master-slave relationship. "We must educate ourselves and our children into the rich power of knowledge which has elevated every people who have sought and used it. We must give the benefit of our knowledge to the elevation of our people. -The Honorable Elijah Muhammad...Message to the Blackman
