⁣Benin is considered the home of voodoo, a religion often portrayed as black magic. Many voodoo rituals are shrouded in mystery and misunderstood. So are voodoo convents that are scattered across southern Benin. Local children spend months and even years behind the convent walls because their parents send them there. They believe it would appease the spirits in case of an illness or bad luck.
In voodoo monasteries, children are given new names and are forbidden to use their old ones, wear old clothes and speak their native language. Instead, they study voodoo customs and language and are initiated into secrets. Leaving a voodoo monastery requires a special ceremony that costs parents $50, an unaffordable sum for most in Benin.
Voodoo priests and supporters say keeping children in convents is necessary to preserve voodoo culture and traditions, but activists disagree. Children confined in convents miss out on education and sometimes have no one to return to because their parents are not around anymore. Activists from organisations like ReSPESD seek to reduce the time children spend in convents and cut the price of a release ceremony.
Activists are also working with local leaders in the programme, explaining the importance of education for Beninese children. While many are ready to change, some remain adamant. Hear from voodoo priests, local kings and children about life inside the convents and what voodoo means to them.

This is the last Sunday sermon of Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr. He delivered his final Sunday sermon on March 31, 1968, from the Canterbury Pulpit at The Cathedral Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul in the City and Diocese of Washington, commonly known as Washington National Cathedral, 3101 Wisconsin Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C., U.S.A. In his sermon, he refers to the following passages from The Word of God: Psalm 133; The Gospel of Saint Matthew 25:31-46; The Gospel of Saint Luke 16:19-31; and the Book of Revelation 21:5. Near the beginning of the sermon, Dr. King thanks the Very Reverend Francis B. Sayre Jr., Dean of the Washington National Cathedral, for the invitation to speak. Dean Sayre was a vocal opponent of segregation, poverty, McCarthyism, and the Vietnam War. In March 1965, he joined Dr. King on the voting-rights march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama.

Martin Luther King, Jr. was ordained to the ministry in February 1948 at the age of 19 at Ebeneezer Baptist Church, Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A., where he became Assistant Pastor. In 1948, he graduated from Morehouse College with a B.A. in Sociology. Rev. King earned a Bachelor of Divinity degree from Crozer Theological Seminary in 1951. He earned a doctorate in Systematic Theology from Boston University in June 1955.

⁣Too Much Schooling, Too Little Education in Ghana: An Interactive Demonstration

Professor Arthur G.O. Mutambara (Former Deputy Prime Minister of Zimbabwe) speaks on decolonisation and the future of Africa.

The presentation addressed the following four imperatives:

1) The role of the Engineer beyond Engineering
2) The Engineer and Continental Integration
3) Decolonisation of the Engineering Curriculum
4) The Engineer and the Fourth Industrial Revolution, in Pursuit of African Economic Prosperity

⁣In the spirit of REPARATIONS we must embark on a journey of self
examination to see how SCHOOLING AND CHURCHING have normaized the results of SLAVE-BREAKING so that the victims of this cruel process now comfortably and WITHOUT SHAME wear all the marks
of a defeated people.
