simply brilliant...reading it again...first read it in the early 90's and upon re-visiting it am very impressed with JA Rogers-

I read some of his stuff.... not all.. I think it is a good start.. Odd that he was a friend of Hubert Harrision and worked for Marcus Garvey though

The most significant thing about him was a friend of mine was given his a volume of his 100 greatest black men as a prize for O'level Biology at Munro College 32 years ago.... His comment was he got it because he was the blackest man in that cohort.....

Re: From Superman to Man

I never said but I did read super man to man.... also that clip could be applied to the internet and the recent debate.. It however is a two edged sword as more information becomes availbale the diversity of opnions increase.. This cause great constination among those on the left of the poltical spectrum as they discover that the less well off what choices..

My comment is the JA Rogers comment that knowledge should be freely available ot all is one that Marcus Garvey advocated.. It is contarty to even what Farrakhan advocates.. ie that the workers be led by the intelectual, his speech in Jamaica.. (Whcih is the standard model of Marxist development) Garvey advocated we are ll capabable of assimilating knowlege and making choice, and should be exposed to the highest levels of art and culture.. We are not sheep as we were described yesterday... We dont need a Shepard...
