Symbol of knowledge, life-long education and continued quest for knowledge.

“For those of us who are serious about social justice, anti-racism, and freedom that far exceeds liberal notions and electoral politics, we already know that we have lots of work. The conditions of our work have changed, but our demands have not. Our strategies may have changed, but our vision for the future has not.”
