About the organizer
Organized by
Montoya aka Black SocratesBLACK SOCRATES SPEAKS...As the founder of Mental Dialogue when I look at the landscape of America, I still see my community on the bottom of the proverbial totem pole; hence my life long dedication to improving the plight of African-Americans here in the U.S, as well as Africans throughout the African Diaspora. I actually believe in the unity and brotherhood of all people, however I think African-Americans due to our unique (and brutal) history here in America are generally blocked from that viewpoint; and do not sit at the world table of brotherhood as equals. In order to remedy this I believe it will take a myriad of opinions, beliefs, and thoughts to raise our awareness to a point to effect True change in our community; therefore, at Mental Dialogue we do not subscribe to any specific ideology, religious, or political belief. In order to drive action in the African-American community, we must first overcome our distrust of one another, psychologically, hence the name MENTAL DIALOGUE. I think we do this by promoting critical thinking and learning to disagree without emotion--this will lead to practical solutions. Malcolm X said it best when he said, "never confuse the method with the objective," and at Mental Dialogue our guiding principle is "if we bring good and smart people together, good and smart things will happen."
