Quote to Ponder: “I will say that language is the primary medium of communication in the educational process and, in this case, the English language. I indict the English language as one of the prime carriers of racism from one person to another. The teacher and the student, especially the Negro student, are affected by this fact. The English language is my enemy. – Ossie Davis
