First, we will go to Senegal with students from Spelman College and witness a close-up look at this very unique culture. You will witness the emotion of visiting Goree Island, one of the main slave ports in West Afrika, and what young women of Afrikan descent did while visiting Afrika for the first time. We will then take a very intimate excursion of El Mina, the slave castle in Ghana and hear the history of its horror.

We will then join Senator Barack Obama on a very personal journey through the homeland of his father, Kenya, as well as accompany him through South Afrika and Chad. He will not just pass through communities, but mingle and communicate with the throngs that followed him. See the Senator talk about being in the place where humanity began. Come with us on this very special adventure and see the continent like never before.

How can you teach your children their history if you don’t know it yourself? Dr. Kwaku's Black History 4 Young People is in the planning stages (usually 6 weeks in June and July). Stay tuned for details. Afrikan World Civilizations Class continues Fridays from 7-9 p.m. in Leimert Park at Kaos Studios, located at 4343 Leimert Boulevard in Los Angeles. For registration information, visit Dr. Kwaku's website at: www.drkwaku.com or call (213) 368-4976.
