Identify quote?

[Sharon Hamer <hamer@MEOL.MASS.EDU>]

A teacher went to the Children's Museum in Chicago recently and there was
a big exhibit with a giant blow up of a quote at the entrance. IT said:

In the end
we will conserve
only what we love,
We will love only what we understand,
We will understand
only what we are taught.

It was attributed to  Baba Dioum.

The teacher was told that person was an African poet.
He wanted more info on Baba Dioum. I looked EVERYWHERE!!! (CA, Current
B., Infotrac, books on Africa, Black America, all our biographical info,
Bartletts...) Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.
