Hello All:
HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH!! AND ALL HAIL TO DR. CARTER G. WOODSON!!
If you don't know your history, those of your ancestors and your contemporaries - you have no one to blame but yourselves. We need to stop griping what the caucasoids won't teach us, or don't want us to know - there is so much technology around these days, we have absolutely no excuse for not only exploring and researching on our own, but making sure our children learn their legacies as well. It does not matter how many laws the racists pass to ban Black History from the schools, we can build and develop our own programs on our own, for ourselves and our children. If you have a cell phone, if you are on social media, you can just as easily use those same devices to learn about and teach your/our own history. As for the schools - it's your/our responsibilities as parents and students to make sure the history is told accurately and truthfully - and if they won't teach it in the schools, then as our ancestors did after slavery, it's our responsibility to develop Saturday, Sunday and online virtual schools. Our children will not be deprived of their right by racist right wing repuglycons.
It's
high time we stop being vidiots - prey to the media's misbegotten
propaganda machines that is euphemistically called "news" and start
counteracting the steady drivel that has been poisoning our minds and
those of our children. Thus far our children have become more anxious,
violent, and deluded by the programming that constantly assails them.
The
activities below were shared with me by a member of the JUNETEENTH
FAMILY. Mark your calendar, share it with your neighbors, friends,
children - and get out there and support them.

Class Interruptions: Inequality and Division in African Diasporic Women's Fiction
ROBIN BROOKS
As downward mobility continues to be an international issue, Robin Brooks offers a timely intervention between the humanities and social sciences by examining how Black women’s cultural production engages debates about the growth in income and wealth gaps in global society during the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Using an interdisciplinary approach, this innovative book employs major contemporary texts by both African American and Caribbean writers—Toni Morrison, Gloria Naylor, Dawn Turner, Olive Senior, Oonya Kempadoo, Merle Hodge, and Diana McCaulay—to demonstrate how neoliberalism, within the broader framework of racial capitalism, reframes structural inequalities as personal failures, thus obscuring how to improve unjust conditions.

Author Jonathan W. White presents the story of how President Abraham Lincoln welcomed African Americans to his White House in America’s most divided and war-torn era and why that transformed the trajectory of race relations in the United States. Beginning with his 1862 meetings with Black Christian ministers, Lincoln invited African Americans of every background into his home, from ex-slaves from the Deep South to champions of abolitionism such as Frederick Douglass and Sojourner Truth. The President conferred with his guests about the essential issues of citizenship and voting rights. Drawing from an array of primary sources, White reveals how African Americans used the White House as a national stage to amplify their calls for equality.
