Slavemasters' Educational System Won't Help Us

By Messenger Elijah Muhammad[Image]

Reprinted from Supreme Wisdom

    Recently one of my people who is other than a Believer wrote to me and boasted about our "having some of the finest schools" and mentioned a few well-known names as "proof" of the "great progress" my people have made in America in recent years.

   But is it not true, my people, that your schools, colleges and universities are from the slavemasters? And who is benefitted by the graduates of these schools, the white man or the so-called Negroes?

   I say that  regardless of how much education your slavemasters give you, if  they never teach you a true knowledge of self,   you are  only a free slave to serve them or others than your own.

   Is your present educational system getting you independence from the slavemasters' children? If it or has it put the idea in your head  to seek some of this good earth for you and your people, who number over 17 million in America, and a place  to call your own? NO!

   Who appoints  your men to  degrees and scientists to high  government posts? Is it not their white masters whom they are going to serve? You will seek white men's jobs, but not a country for  your  people.
