While Margaret Mead did not specifically address the establishment of Black History Month, she might have had this to say, “If we are to achieve a richer culture, rich in contrasting values, we must recognize the whole gamut of human potentialities, and so weave a less arbitrary social fabric, one in which each diverse human gift will find a fitting place.”

On this latest report on global warming, Margaret Mead might have said, “A small group of thoughtful people could change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”

When asked if she has a solution for global warming, she might have said, “Prayer does not use up artificial energy, doesn’t burn up any fossil fuel, doesn’t pollute. Neither does song, neither does love, neither does the dance.”
