A system of education is not one thing, nor does it have a single definite object, nor is it a mere matter of schools. Education is that whole system of human training within and without the school house walls, which molds and develops [hu]men[s].
–W.E. B DuBois

“Imperialism leaves behind germs of rot which we must clinically detect and remove from our land but from our minds as well.” 
–Frantz Fanon
