RKS AMERICAN LITERATURE: BLACK Survival Skills (Audre Lorde)

“One of the most basic Black survival skills is the ability to change, to metabolize experience, good or ill, into something that is useful, lasting, effective. Four hundred years of survival as an endangered species has taught most of us that if we intend to live, we had better become fast learners. Malcom knew this. We do not have to live the same mistakes over a if we can look at them, learn from them, and build upon them.”

Audre Lorde, “Learning From the 1960’s”
