Terrorism Against Black People

Since being brought to America, people of Afrikan descent have undergone the worst brutality in the history of the nation. This occurred during and after slavery. The greatest intensity happened when Afrikans attempted to secure freedom from slavery, which escalated when exercising their right to register and vote, live in certain areas or seek employment in competing white markets. The organization that initiated the worst terror attacks was the Ku Klux Klan (KKK). We will take an intimate look at its secret history.

Friday, March 21: Lessons from Haiti and Kenya

This week, join us as we learn about Haiti, the first Black republic in the western world, and the first independent nation in Latin America. It shocked the world when enslaved Afrikans defeated the mighty French army, and had the audacity to declare its own independence. France and America never forgave Haiti for that and devised a plan to make it the poorest nation in the West. When the Haitians democratically elected a president, who was not always favorable to America, the United States engineered a coup which sent the Haitian president into exile. We will explore the hidden reasons why this occurred.

The other topic we will address is the Masai women of Kenya, East Afrika represent one of the oldest and distinct populations in traditional Afrikan civilizations. They show the ancient traditions Black women today evolved from. We will take a very intimate look at their life style and what is applicable for today.

These video presentations are dynamic and the class interaction is enlightening. Don't miss it!

We will be graced with the knowledge of such scholars as: Yosef ben-Jochannan, John Henrik Clarke, Asa Hilliard, Na'im Akbar, Leonard Jeffries, Basil Davidson, and more. For those who like to come early, you can relax to some of the best Black music, personally selected by Dr. Kwaku.
