Read A Book

 

…It’s not ‘acting white’ to read a book.  This whole attitude of anti-intellectualism in our communities is one of the most damaging things that we can do to our young people.  No other culture I’m aware of does this: tell you it is to your advantage not to be smart. It doesn’t make any sense.
