In last weeks’ edition of the Earlham Word, my dear friend Vania Frederico wrote an article in response to my earlier article on how Pan Africanism should be the emphasis of Black History. Vania disagreed with my vision of Pan Africanism and how it could be used as a uniting force for the African Diaspora. Vania stated her belief that, “…The discourse on a common history of oppression and the umbilical tie to the motherland is not as compelling in the contemporary age” thusly what she proposed

Whatever comes first
Don’t matter
Test me
Kill me and I shall return

In the Whirlwind
haunt you
Curse you
Spit in your face
For your decadence
putrid life style
Of nothingness and dread
a stunted man woman child
Too pitiful to stand erect
Homo erectus
You rather slither snake like
Before Pharaoh and his magicians
Not me
Take me to your dungeons

THE NATIONAL QUESTION IN SUDAN SEEN FROM PAN-AFRICAN PERSPECTIVE, AS A JUSTIFICATION FOR A UNITED NEW SUDAN
We write as war rages in Darfur and in the shadow of the Southern Sudan Referendum and the impending split of The Sudan, as we knew it. This erstwhile largest country in Africa, now has only months left of life, after which it’s land mass will be juridically sundered, part of it becoming the new nation-state of Southern Sudan. In principle, no one welcomes the further Balkanisation of o

Navigating the perilous Mental Landscape
Navigating the Perilous Mental Landscape
We must be aware of the times and what must be done. A blind man named Ray Charles told us "the world is in an uproar, the danger zone is everywhere...." And so it is, ancestor Ray, there is turbulence in the land and in man, woman and children. As the earth enters another 25,000 year cycle of history with the coming New Age of high spiritual consciousness, there are many who remain deaf, dumb an

By Gloria Dulan-WilsonI’m going to start this off with a quote from Dr. Divine Pryor. It’s so heavy I didn’t want to leave it to the end of this article:
“For the past seven years, The Center for NU Leadership on Urban Solutions has successfully created opportunities for people entangled in the law to access higher education as a way to transforming their lives. Our attempt to secure a multi-million dollar grant was only an effort to formalize what we have been doing informally over the past seve

and the US Monkey Mind Media
Secretary of State Clinton dropped a bombshell on the US Monkey Mind Media when she declared Al Jazeera News is far superior to the US Monkey Mind Media that can only perpetuate the white supremacy world of make believe. We welcome the Secretary to the real world, a world that transcends the airless room Americans live in, as James Baldwin once said.

SRDC and PADU
Last week, in Pretoria, South Africa, the current and past administrative capital of the country, there was a meeting sponsored by the South African government based on its 2006 mandate from the African Union to hold several conferences in and about the African Diaspora in order to identify what makes the Diaspora tick. This was all related to the AU's 2003 invitation to the African Diaspora to come and join that organization to assist in unifying the Afric

The “Declining Significance” of Black History
In the middle of this year’s Black History Month I was momentarily overcome by a weird feeling. There was a kind of ho hum, mundane, routine, business as usual atmosphere about this year’s commemoration with little passion or intensity. Maybe it was just me, but I had a sense that Black History Month was/is straying from Carter G. Woodson’s original mission of uti
Well folks, it looks like a 300% refund and tickets to next year’s Super Bowl-with paid accommodations-is not going to be enough to appease the some 400 individuals who were turned away in Dallas at the big game. The first lawsuits were filed in federal court on Wednesday. It appears the culprit is lack of preparation. The additional seats that were sold were deemed unsafe by the fire marshal due to lack of adequate guard rails. The second company-who took over for the first company that left Je

America's White Revolution?
America's White Revolution
Is America in the birth pains of revolution, of joining the struggle of people around the world for social and economic justice? What is the end game of the Tea Party goers and the unions struggling for their definition of social economic democracy? Will there inevitably be a clash between the unionists and workers on the Left and the Tea Party Constitutionalists on the Right? Or will they merge into the American Whit

India is one of the most popular destinations for so many people who love picturesque valleys, historical monuments, majestic palaces, spirituality, mysticism, diversity and exotic locations. It has so many things to offer to the discerning visitor. India is a huge country and exploring the entire country seems to be an impossible task in one single trip. One cannot even cover one state in a single trip. It might take months to explore this beautiful country. Each state is unique and it has its

In agriculture, if the root of the plant goes bad, so goes the rest of the plant. Above the ground, the plant may be very beautiful, but internally it is dying.
This reminds me of “The Root” online magazine (www.theroot.com). According to their website: “The Root is a daily online magazine that provides thought-provoking commentary on today's news from a variety of black perspectives.” They are owned and published by the Washington Post Newsweek Interactive.

March 3, 1991. What started off as just another case of a brotha gettin' beat
down by the Po Po, would set off a chain of events that would forever change
the socio-political dynamics of America, especially for the Hip Hop
generation.
Although, they beating of Rodney King by four Los Angeles police officers
happened 20 years ago, the shock waves from the event are still being felt
today. To grasp the gravity of the situation one has to look at it in
historical terms.
