The primary source findings on my blog, here, show conclusively that America is not living up to its mantra of "freedom and justice for all." Modern artistic depictions of classical Black cultures such as the Minoans, Etruscans, Egyptians, and others reveal institutional complicity in the cover up of the epic saga of Black civilizations. It is time now to merge the full story of Black history with world history--to do anything less is to ensure the continued second-fiddle existence of Black children. Furthermore, full diffusion of our classic narrative will strengthen our esprit de corps, lessening the high crime rates in our communities, as our youth emerge with a fuller legacy to draw from.

We Must Protest the King Tut Mini Series

The real King Tut, from his throne back rest. White characters are used to portray King Tut and the Egyptians in this made for TV film. This is unconscionable. King Tut lived in the 1300s B.C., while the Arabs didn't arrive in Egypt until 640 A.D. It is set to air on July 19, 2015 via Spike TV. Please direct complaints to the FCC and your local cable providers.

The Minoans, Black Aegean Cruise

A perusal of this blog indicates that world history, as we know it, should be revamped to ensure that all students get the truth about history and not the fallacies that have come to represent the current narrative. The Minoans, who fostered Greek civilization, are just one of the many Black cultures that have been obscured under Western colonialism. The Etruscans preceded Rome, in Italy. And the Middle East could well be called Northeast Africa, as all of the so-called Middle East was populated by Blacks prior to later admixtures. Egyptians, Assyrians, Akkadians, Ethiopians, and the Minoans, among others, comprised a trading block that represented the premier cultures of the pre-Eurocentric world.----- Link

Senegal's African Renaissance Monument

There's a language in art. Sometimes it's codified. But more often than not the pure beauty of a piece communicates simply because it's there. That's how I feel about Senegal's colossal African Renaissance Monument--it's breathtaking. Imagine waking up to that on your skyline every day. Lauded by some; minimized by others, it gets a thumbs up in these quarters.
