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

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 ✊🏾

⁣Namibia has the third highest levels of income inequality in the world. 6% of the population own 70% of the land and here, the wounds of German Colonisation run deep. Between 1904 -1908, the Germans established concentration camps where the indigenous Herero and Nama people were interned. Up to 80% of them died in what Germany later recognised as the first genocide of the 20th Century. While the descendants of these victims, like Karvita, live in illegal settlements in constant fear of eviction, the descendants of these colonists continue to own most of the land and have no problem justifying their inheritance.

Most of Namibia’s vast natural resources are owned or controlled by foreigners. The diamond industry is dominated by DeBeers and the ruling Swapo party, widely seen as corrupt, is propped up by its historic ally: China. The construction and uranium industries are controlled by the Chinese and documents leaked in 2021 revealed that North Korea was illegally subcontracted to build the country’s State House.

Most of the country is sparsely populated, enabling nature to flourish. It’s home to one to one of the greatest wildlife populations in the world, including the only free-roaming black rhinos. But these animals are constantly threatened by the Chinese mafia while global warming is increasing desertification, threatening indigenous communities.

This documentary was produced by Cat & Cie and directed by Esther Goldmann. It was first released in 2022.

President Ibrahim Traoré, Burkina Faso has not only broken free from economic shackles but has also laid the foundation for a future built on self-reliance, industrial strength, and cultural revival. He has defied global financial institutions, reclaimed national wealth, and rebuilt the backbone of his country’s economy—without a single handout from the West.
But revolutions don’t happen without a fight.
Traoré’s journey has been one of defiance, strategy, and sheer willpower. From rejecting IMF loans to nationalizing gold mines, from boosting food production to cutting government corruption at its core—his leadership has rewritten the rules of governance.

Reneilwe Morema reports on Burkina Faso officially producing Their own gold Bars, Thanks To Ibrahim Traore. The gold bars seen in the video are the first since the country assumed control of their gold mines. Africa's youngest leader also paid off a 4,7 billion dollar debt after taking control of gold minning in Burkina Faso! The first youngest African leader since the independence of Africa to completely liberate his people, both emotionally and financially from the grip of their colonizers, BREAKING THE NEO-COLONIZATION trend that is currently happening with most African leaders.
Many political experts fear that this POWERFUL MOVE will literally put a target on his back, as many Western missionaries will sought to eliminate him.

In 2025, decades after gaining independence, several African nations are still paying a colonial tax to their former colonizers. This shocking system, rooted in exploitative economic agreements, continues to stifle growth and perpetuate poverty in resource-rich countries. From the CFA franc to French-controlled reserves, we break down how this system works, which countries are affected, and the ongoing struggle for true economic sovereignty. Don’t miss this eye-opening exploration of a modern-day colonial legacy.
