Dr. Maulana Karenga Quote

“The Nguzo Saba are the 
moral minimum value system 
Black people need in order to 
rescue and reconstruct their 
history and humanity, 
indeed their daily lives, in 
their own image and interests.”

Dr. Maulana Karenga Quote

“No part of our legacy 
is more valuable than 
the unique ethical teaching 
of the Odu Ifa, 
the sacred text of our 
Yoruba ancestors, 
that we and all humans 
are divinely chosen to 
bring good into the world 
and that this is 
the fundamental meaning 
and mission of human life.” 
Dr. Maulana Karenga

Dr. Maulana Karenga Quote

“As we move into the next decade and new era, 
no lesson is more important for us to learn from our history 
and culture than our need to recognize our interrelatedness 
as a people and part of humanity and our parallel need 
to establish and put in wider to practice an ethics of sharing 
which recognizes and builds on this interrelatedness 
in the most positive and mutually beneficial ways. 
In fact, this is an indispensable way to fulfill and further 
our moral obligation to constantly bring good into the world.”
