Back on Black Love: What Ever Happened to Black Consciousness?

by Demaryl Howard

First, let me tell you what Black Consciousness is not. Black Consciousness is not sporting cowrie shells in your hair. Black Consciousness is not listening to East Coast Hip Hop or Erykah Badu. Black Consciousness is not dreadlocks. Black Consciousness is not having read a few books by Black authors. Black Consciousness is not a look or fad. Black Consciousness is an afrocentric state of mind.
