I would say education. Education is the one thing we can get as a people, that cannot be taken away from us once we attain it. That is why it was so critical to not allow a slave to read. Through knowledge, comes a liberation all its own, regardless of what jobs they will and will not let us get, or the lower salaries they may pay us. That knowledge, once attained, can be passed down to the youth, and perpetuated. I think education is the key to strong nation-building in our community.
