| Summary: | According to Dyson, we face a crisis in the limitations to speak about Black intelligence. [...]they need the real time and the privacy of the classroom." [...]very important is bell hooks's assertion that Black women in the academy are servants. [...]Black women's teaching becomes more important than their intellectual work. After much discussion, no one could contest the importance of Ethiopia to world history and particularly to the history of Africa and the diaspora. [...]the consensus was that we would meet in Ethiopia, that we would not imperialize it in the formations of our presentations, and that as writers walking into a geographical space, we needed to gather information about that space before entering it.
