|Points Theatre - Empowerment Through Edutainment - The famous historian, Arnold Toynbee, once commented, "When we classify |

|mankind by color, the only primary race that has not made a creative contribution to any civilization is the Black race."  For |

|15 years and 2,500 performances, "1001 Inventions" has been an unusually funny antidote for this gross misconception. |

|Famous Quotes ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.: |

| | | |

| |I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, | |

| |but by the content of their character. | |

| | | |

| |Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. | |

| | | |

| |Our nettlesome task is to discover how to organize our strength into compelling power. | |

| | | |

| |A man who won't die for something is not fit to live. | |

| | | |

| |If a man is called to be a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or | |

| |Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the host of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great | |

| |streetsweeper who did his job well. | |

| | | |

| |"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." | |

| | | |

| |There is nothing more dangerous than to build a society, with a large segment of people in that society, who feel that they have no | |

| |stake in it; who feel that they have nothing to lose. People who have a stake in their society, protect that society, but when they | |

| |don't have it, they unconsciously want to destroy it. | |

| | | |

| |Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. It is impractical because it is a descending spiral | |

| |ending in destruction for all. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding; it seeks to| |

| |annihilate rather than to convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. | |

| | | |

| |“Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.” | |

| | | |

| |I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of| |

| |peace and brotherhood can never become reality. I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word. | |

| | | |

| |

|  |  |

|~ BE READY |  |

| |When your opportunity comes. |

| |  |

|~ BE REAL   |  |

| |You will never be a success trying to transcend who you are.  You have to embrace    |

| |yourself, including your Blackness.  |

| |  |

|~ BE SMART |  |

| |Learn to think critically for yourself. |

| |  |

|~ BE A SERVANT |  |

| |Your generation, in many respects has it all twisted, it ain't about the ice and the |

| |bling-bling, it's about being a servant.  Cornel West put it this way; you can't lead|

| |the people if you don't love the people.  And you can't save the people if you don't |

| |serve the people. |

| |  |

|~ BE HUMBLE |  |

| |Because the toes you step on today may be connected to the behind you have to kiss |

| |tomorrow." |
