Knowledge

Genesis 2:9

King James Version (KJV)
And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.



Anna Julia Haywood Cooper (1858 – 1964)
African American Educator and Author                            
Anna J. Cooper was an author, educator, speaker, and among the leading intellectuals of her time. Born into enslavement, she wrote "A Voice from the South," widely considered one of the first articulations of Black feminism. Throughout her long life, Cooper worked for the betterment of African American women’s lives, which she saw as the foundation for a more just society for everyone. Cooper worked at Washington D.C.’s M Street -- now Dunham High School -- for nearly 40 years, focusing the all black high school on preparing students for higher education, successfully sending many students to prestigious universities. 

Mrs Cooper might have been born a slave but she knew she was predestine by God to spread the word of equal knowledge like Jesus Christ.
Today as you perform a random act of kindness let someone know enslavement is a state of mind not a way of life.
