We will be continuing to look at the benefits of an Afrikan centered education. But before I continue I want to share a story from Dr. Molefi Asante. He told this story before introducing his guest speaker,(who I will tell you about later) at a symposium held at the Molefi Kete Asante, (MKA) Institute. Upon meeting the great ancetor Cheikh Anta Diop in Afrika he felt overwhelmed and humbled when seeing him in his office and said that he saw himself doing Ancestor Diop's work defending Africa. Ancestor Diop shook his hand and said, "Afrika needs no defense. She needs advancement". I am therefore going to be careful not to defend Afrika but advance all causes Afrikan and of Afrika, one of which is the Afrikan centered education. The first advancement will be "what does learning look like from the center?" When placing the Afrikan race at the center of learning, what changes? What, if anything, remains the same? I will also be sharing with you the knowledge I gain at my first PCOL, (Philadelphia Community of Leaders) Education meeting being held at Philadelphia Public School Headquarters downtown. And finally, a review of what Bro. Rahim Islam, (along with Kenny Gamble is founder and CEO of Universal Companies) had to say this past Saturday when he gave a symposium on the "The State of Black Philadelphia: The Future of Our Communities". It is inspirational and rejuvenating when your boss motivates and encourages you. Got a great show lined up. Join me. Hotep.
