Kaleidoscope wants to know...

photos by Harry Kemp
Anthony Brown: "The lesson that I’ve learned from history is how little I know about it and how many versions there are of the little that is learned."
|
Carolyn Ward Spears: "I have learned through the past that education is the key; wisdom, knowledge, power are the keys to success."
|
Jasmine Spears: "I think African Americans (have) learned to be more independent and to stand up for our rights."
|
Ivory Jefferson: "Tomorrow doesn’t take care of itself, neither do the youth of tomorrow. But we, who are of today, shape the future of tomorrow. So we must do our jobs to leave something that will last; not just money, but knowledge."
