Malcolm X interview with Barry Gray; March 10, 1960


Malcolm X was born Malcolm Little on May 19, 1925 in Omaha, Nebraska. His mother, Louise Norton Little, was a homemaker occupied with the family’s eight children. His father, Earl Little, was an outspoken Baptist minister and avid supporter of Black Nationalist leader Marcus Garvey. Earl’s civil rights activism prompted death threats from the white supremacist organization Black Legion, forcing the family to relocate twice before Malcolm’s fourth birthday.

Melaneyes ( mĕl′ə-nīz )

Is a play on the term “melanize” which means to blacken, or to infuse with melanin. Melanin is the chemical substance that gives dark people our skin pigmentation.

We altered the spelling to include “eyes” because we are a film company and ultimately what we create is of a visual nature. As human beings, 70% of our sensory receptors are in our eyes so visual content affects us in a way that shapes our world view and touches our emotions.

We want to infuse your eyes with melanin (metaphorically) meaning, to blacken your vision so that you look at the world from a Black perspective as opposed to a Eurocentric view of the the world; especially as it relates to history.

#Nkrumahism is so powerful mainstream colonial educationalists are intent on demonising and exorcising him from the curriculum.

Knowledge of Nkruhamism will expose why the urgent need exist to decolonise the national curriculum both in Africa and the diaspora and will lead to the abandonment of a colonial education. Nkrumah's philosophy and ideology of decolonising and developing Africa in its own interest and in its own image is so powerful that 50 years on, Ghana continues to wrestles to keep his teachings out of academia.

Indulge in the teachings the West is afraid Africans will get hold of and want to apply across the continent in its struggle for total liberation.

The African Caribbean Institute of Jamaica presents its first hybrid events since reopening to the public in April 2022. This lecture will be presented by Dr. Anthony Richards.

Why You Fell In Love With Africa

Dive into this riveting exploration of Time as we traverse the vibrant African landscape. Through the eyes of Tariro, a young girl deeply entwined in her African roots, we scrutinize the traditional concept of time.

This video unveils how time in Africa isn't merely a set of ticking hands or a digital display but it is akin to a flowing river, shaped by community events and shared experiences.

We will delve into the fascinating works of African philosophers like E.J. Alagoa and Kanu Ikechukwu Anthony, exploring the harmonic interplay of spirituality, environment, and society in the African concepts of time and causality.

The effect of globalization and the advent of Western time values are also discussed, exhibiting how it subtly fuses with the African rhythm, reshaping societal behavior.

Our journey concludes with a vital introspection: Is life trapped within the divisions of time, or is it time that is framed by life and culture its rhythm?

Was this evolution beneficial or has it steered us away from the heartbeat of life?

Discover how time metamorphosizes from a measurer into a storytelling entity of shared experiences and shifts in realities across African landscapes.
