I remember a psychologist (Dr. Hale, I think) making the statement that the educational system prepare Black girls for welfare lines and Black boys for the prison system. Being familiar with the public school system and working with children, I can see that this is overwhelmingly true.

"Activism is the practice of using an internal, self-determining source of power to live one's life and/or enact some sort of change. Power is the ability to define reality, while self-determination is to decide or define one's self. Therefore activism, is not simply something done to right some wrong or to fight some cause but rather it is a way of life. Activism is the way of life where one can define self and change anything that may impede or control the reality that one chooses to live."-Solarus
