Septima Clark quotation used on “Saint Septima” mural.
The mural “Saint Septima” in the Education Center of the College of Charleston quotes from a speech Septima Clark delivered at Antioch College in 1970 entitled “The Challenge to Black and White.” Clark’s handwritten speech is in the Septima Clark Collection at the College of Charleston. The quotation on the mural reads, “I believe unconditionally in the ability of people to respond when they are told the truth. We need to be taught to study rather than to believe, to inquire rather than to affirm.” | Source: Avery Research Center for African American History and Culture, College of Charleston, Charleston, SC.
