December 7: The Origin of Religion Is Disturbing

In class, I once mentioned that I chose not to teach the origin of religion due to the confusion it has caused. Because of class demand and other material available-- not from me-- this Friday evening, we will explore this very controversial topic.

A note of warning, those who are devout believers, it is recommended you do not attend. Based on experiences of the past, it is very possible that religious doubt may set in and cause one to ask questions of ministers that may bring about less than positive feelings.

The other topic we will explore is the Afrikan presence in the Caribbean. All Black people in the Caribbean are descendants of those Afrikans brought there as slaves. We will investigate two of the most Afrikan countries of the Caribbean: Haiti and Jamaica.

POTLUCK LIST AND CLASS PHOTO: Since this is our second to last class, we will also make our list for the potluck for our last class and take the Class Photo.

Next Semester: For those who like to plan ahead, the next semester, which is Part II, will begin February 8th, 2008.

Afrikan World Civilizations Class happens in the Fall and Spring, for 11 Fridays from 7-9 p.m. at Kaos Studios in Leimert Park, 4343 Leimert Blvd. (corner of Leimert and 43rd Place) in Los Angeles. Our email address is: DrKwaku@hotmail.com.
