NO LEADER, regardless of importance,
must consider himself above the WILL OF
THE PEOPLE. Before reaching out
toward international prestige he must look
within his own land—direct himself to
restoring the DIGNITY of all citizens—
filling their minds and feasting their eyes
on HUMAN things. Therein lies the spirit
of aCONSCIOUS and SOVEREIGN nation.

Title
Spirit Magazine Cover, April 1979
Description
This is the cover of the April 1979 issue of the York College student-run Spirit Magazine. Featuring a quote from Afro-Carribbean philosopher and writer, Frantz Fanon, the page introduces the issue's theme of "The Wretched of the Earth," a title of one of Fanon's most popular works. Fanon was an apt choice for the magazine as his frequent focus on colonialism and liberation spoke especially to the college's diverse black student population. The magazine, which dubbed itself a "third world publication" typically focused on the unique concerns of its readership, often dealing with issues of race and social justice as well as simple neighborhood issues in Jamaica, Queens.
