Day 7 where Hope lives

tomorrow we get to attend SoulFest hosted by Google in Oakland. We attend in hopes of creating partnerships in tech, as well as being a part of the narrative that illuminates Black presence in this new and thriving era of technology. 

Here’s a quote from the phenomenal A. Philip Randolph: 

”The youngsters of today must direct their attention not only to the matter of racial identity and racial realization through African Studies, but they must make certain they are not left behind in the scientific and technological revolution, because if they are, they will be in a hopeless state. There will be absolutely no way in the world whereby they can become an effective force. If the young negro cannot become a part of this advancing technology, his whole revolution will have been in vain.”

Ebony Magazine, May 1969
