Welcome to today's video, where we're going to dive into the real reason behind John Mahama's visit to Mali and how it's connected to Captain Ibrahim Traoré. You might think you know what's going on, but trust me, there's more to this story than meets the eye. So, stick with us until the end to uncover the truth. Just a few months ago, John Dramani Mahama was re-elected as the President of Ghana. This marked a significant shift in Ghana's political landscape, especially considering the previous administration's relations with neighboring countries. One notable event during Mahama's inauguration was the presence of Captain Ibrahim Traoré, the leader of Burkina Faso. Traoré not only attended the ceremony but also paid Mahama a visit at his home, where they engaged in fruitful discussions about friendship and cooperation. This marked a new era in relations between Ghana and Burkina Faso, moving away from the tense dynamics that existed during the tenure of Mahama's predecessor, Nana Akufo-Addo. Traoré became somewhat of a celebrity in Ghana, with many youths hailing him as a hero. Mahama even joked that Traoré was more popular in Ghana than he was. This newfound camaraderie seemed to signal a fresh start in bilateral relations between the two nations.

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

Black men (Km) are often celebrated for their great accomplishments in times of war (Buffalo Soilders, Tuskegee Airmen, n.k.), however, many of these celebrated soilders were fighting for non-Black (aAmw) nations, and against their own Black interests. This quick video shines a light on this issue.

On this episode of Rock Newman 2.0, we remember Dr. Frances Cress Welsing (March 18, 1935 - January 2, 2016). We honor not only a brilliant psychiatrist but also a fearless visionary who championed truth, justice, and intellectual empowerment. Her groundbreaking research and unapologetic advocacy have left an indelible mark on the collective consciousness. Through her wisdom and unwavering commitment, Dr. Welsing not only inspired change but fostered a legacy of courage and clarity that continues to resonate today. It is with profound gratitude and respect that we pay tribute to her enduring influence and incomparable contributions.

In tribute, Sabrina Johnson writes,

Reflections of Gratitude for Esteemed Ancestor,
Dr. Frances Cress Welsing

Dr. Welsing lived the principles she discussed and taught, and she serves
as an impeccable model for revolutionary thinking and constructive behavior.

Thank you, Dr. Welsing, for the lives you saved, relationships you rescued, and the mind and soul healing you accomplished.

We forever remain in gratitude and committed to your Cosmic Assignment/
our ongoing work to Replace the System of White Supremacy with a System of Justice!
