African-American Quotations

I'm not comfortable being preachy, but more people need to start spending as much time in the library as they do on the basketball court. If they took the idea that they could escape poverty through education, I think it would make a more basic and long-lasting change in the way things happen. What we need are positive, realistic goals and the willingness to work. Hard work and practical goals.
--Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (Ferdinand Lewis Alcindor, Jr.), 1990
