What one's imagination makes of other people is dictated, of course, by the laws of one's own personality and it is one of the ironies of black-white relations that, by means of what the white man imagines the black man to be, the black man is enabled to know who the white man is. </div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">The
kind of knowledge we need today and should demand for our children and for
ourselves is the knowledge of how we think and how we learn sometimes referred
to as <i>meta-cognition</i>. <b>We
need to learn ways to tap into that huge part of our mind that is sitting idle,
getting ‘rusty’</b>. We need to learn
how to deal with change and to place a focus on developing values and attitudes
for a lifetime. In other words, <b><i>we
need to educate for being human</i></b>.
By understanding and energising all levels and dimensions of the
brain-mind, educating for the whole person, we not only expand human potential,
but we develop enthusiasm for the ‘spirit of learning’ and nourish our hungry
souls. (Griggs,2003)</span></div>

The black man or woman who is born here and grows up here has something special to contribute to western civilisation. He or she will participate in it, see it from birth, but will never be quite completely in it. What such persons have to say, therefore, will give a new vision, a deeper and stronger insight into both western civilisation and the black people in it. </div>

What new vision are you giving birth to?</div>
