This book is a response to the number of dead minds in urban communities, too many of our young people are not going to school, not giving value to an education. It is a response to blind bodies in urban communities, too many of our young people living day-to-day, and dying day-to-day. It is a challenge to our educators and community leaders to give priority to the future of our young people, to help make Education a top priority. This book is for all our young people who are running around with slacks below their waistline, thinking they look cool, but look like clowns going to a circus. It is for our Village, our elders, fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, leaders, teachers, to not give up on our young people. This book is dedicated to our young people, especially those who are lacking a thinking structure to help them grow and develop, to become responsible and productive members of their community. This book is trying to introduce concepts, ideas, conceptional systems to our young people. If we can work to jumpstart and provoke their thinking machine, we can begin to fix the mental infrastructure in Urban America. Use these quotes to start the conversation with young people in Urban America. Get them to think, provoke their minds.
