Many people from American only think the struggle against racist imperial rule was in America. I was so glad to find a wall that represented a wide variety of melanated people who fought just as hard against the nonsense of their say. Much respect ✊🏾

Vilified in some quarters as a racist and demagogue, Jeffries has also been hailed as an educator who uses his classroom to raise the consciousness of African Americans. His career as chairman of the Department of African-American Studies at the City College of New York has “given a sense of urgency to the notion of expanding African-American studies in classrooms everywhere,” according to Emerge correspondent Michael H. Cottman. “It also has highlighted the growing concern for … black scholars who are now subject to ridicule and branded as incompetents and anti-Semites, as well as being second-guessed by those who object to blacks reexamining world history and offering a dramatically different perspective on the African impact on society.”In his capacity as a college professor and also as a speaker in public forums, Jeffries has stood as an exponent of several controversial theories: that the presence of different levels of melanin—a skin coloration pigment—has caused biological and psychological differences between blacks and whites; that the slave trade was run and financed by wealthy Europeans, including Jews; and that Africa’s role as a force in the creation of modern Western civilization has been systematically undermined by white, Eurocentric historians.Leonard Jeffries was born and raised in Newark, New Jersey, the older of two sons in a close-knit blue-collar family. “It was an extraordinarily happy home,” he recalled in New York. “I grew up with the idea of becoming a lawyer to save the race in the civil-rights movement and to be mayor of Newark.” Like other black youngsters coming of age in the late 1940s and early 1950s, Jeffries faced racism from his white schoolmates as well as from some of his teachers, but he buried his rage and strove to excel. He was popular enough to be elected president of his grammar school class and later president of his high school class.Jeffries won a scholarship to Lafayette College and arrived there in 1955 as one of four black students on the campus that year. An honors student almost from the outset of his undergraduate years, he decided to pledge the only fraternity on campus that would accept black members: Pi Lambda Phi, the Jewish fraternity. He was accepted and spent the last three years at Lafayette rooming with Jewish friends and participating actively in the fraternity’s affairs. “The Jews in that frat operated on the African value system—communal, cooperative, and collective,” Jeffries recounted in New York. “It was us against the world. We had very strong relationships because I was the leader…. I was trying to make them men.”In his senior year Jeffries was named president of Pi Lambda Phi, the first black in history to hold that position in the fraternity. The honor further helped to defray his college expenses by paying for his food and lodging. It also provided Jeffries with an ironic title that amused him greatly. “They called the president a Rex—I had to go through college as king of the Jews,” he told New York. “But I managed it. I managed it. Me and my Jews knew what we were about.”Graduating with honors in 1959, Jeffries won a Rotary International fellowship to study at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland. Upon his return to New York in 1961 he enrolled in the graduate program at Columbia University’s School of International Affairs. As he worked toward his master’s and doctorate degrees, he supported himself by working for Operation Crossroads Africa, a private organization that developed community projects in Africa. Jeffries’s association with Operation Crossroads Africa provided him with opportunities to spend time in Guinea, Mali, Senegal, and the Ivory Coast. In 1965, the year he earned his master’s degree, he became the company’s program coordinator for West Africa.*** Read More about Professor leonard Jeffries Here https://www.encyclopedia.com/e....ducation/news-wires- https://www.c-span.org/person/....?35272/LeonardJeffri

Beenie Man Drink Champs Interview clip where Beenie Man explains the difference between Dancehall and Reggae from his perspective. Beenie Man has contributed both to Reggae and Dancehall, empathasizes with Rastafarai. However, he is based primarily in Dancehall as he is a Dancehall King (though his current ranking is up for debate at this time).

I will be comparing his perspective on the issue to that of his contemporary Buju Banton in an upcoming article. In the article, I discuss which artists more aligns with Kmtyw worldview and the implications this has on our assessment of Black music (using JA music genres as a case example).

Buju Banton Drink Champs Interview clip where Buju explains the difference between Reggae and Dancehall -- from his perspective. Context - Buju was a Dancehall artist initially, but when he converted to Rastafarai he became a Reggae artist. I will be comparing his perspective with that of his contemporary Beenie Man in an upcoming article on my discourse-oriented channel.

⁣Burkina Faso is on the verge of hitting a significant milestone. While President Traore has done so much to destroy French imperialist influence over Burkina Faso, the issue of the CFA Franc still remains. This colonial relic has for decades stunted the financial and monetary independence of Francophone Africa. However recent news indicates that Traore is on the verge of achieving true monetary independence for Burkina Faso. In a recent report, Burkina Faso is in the process of creating a new currency which they have named SIRA. Unlike the CFA Franc, SIRA will be fully controlled by the Burkinabe authorities.
