Is Rev. Wright wrong? Also, Dr. Clarke's home tour and Karim Abdul Jabbar-author and intellectual

Rev. Jeremiah Wright is currently the most controversial and vilified figure in America today. Is Rev. Wright correct about black theology? We need to discuss and analyze his actions to determine if he is speaking truth, and if this truth is seriously harming the campaign of Senator Barack Obama.

We will observe Rev. Wright in his most thoughtful candid moments.


We will also see, by request, the home tour of Dr. John Henrik
Clarke, the only video recording of his home and research collection ever recorded. I was able to record his workspace when I was in Harlem, NY interviewing him for the book "On My Journey Now."






We will conclude with a rare interview by the most current intellectual athlete, Kareem Abdul Jabbar. At left he is pictured with Dr. Ralph Bunche and his wife.

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.

The Belizean-Nigerian Connection. Also, Blacks in Japan

This week we will look at the history of Belize, focusing primarily on the Garifuna culture. These are a people whose origins evolved from Nigerians who escaped slavery and mixed with the Caribs, and developed a very unique culture.

We will also take an inside look of what it is like to be a person of Afrikan descent living in Japan. This is the first time this mixing of two distinct cultures will be explored, with surprising results.

The Origin Of AIDS

In class last year, it was promised that we would deal with the origin of the deadly disease known to humanity as AIDS. The most credible work done to date in finding its origin took years of meticulous research. Its location was specifically traced to Afrika, created by European physicians and scientists. These same individuals have legally prevented the results of this work to be shown in Europe, but we will seriously investigate it in class.

We will end at 9:00 pm sharp because of prior commitments after class.

Terrorism Against Black People

Since being brought to America, people of Afrikan descent have undergone the worst brutality in the history of the nation. This occurred during and after slavery. The greatest intensity happened when Afrikans attempted to secure freedom from slavery, which escalated when exercising their right to register and vote, live in certain areas or seek employment in competing white markets. The organization that initiated the worst terror attacks was the Ku Klux Klan (KKK). We will take an intimate look at its secret history.

Class starts promptly at 7 p.m. in Leimert Park at Kaos Studios, located at 4343 Leimert Boulevard in Los Angeles. Register for the entire course for: $100. To pay per class it is $15 each.

Friday, March 21: Lessons from Haiti and Kenya

This week, join us as we learn about Haiti, the first Black republic in the western world, and the first independent nation in Latin America. It shocked the world when enslaved Afrikans defeated the mighty French army, and had the audacity to declare its own independence. France and America never forgave Haiti for that and devised a plan to make it the poorest nation in the West. When the Haitians democratically elected a president, who was not always favorable to America, the United States engineered a coup which sent the Haitian president into exile. We will explore the hidden reasons why this occurred.

The other topic we will address is the Masai women of Kenya, East Afrika represent one of the oldest and distinct populations in traditional Afrikan civilizations. They show the ancient traditions Black women today evolved from. We will take a very intimate look at their life style and what is applicable for today.

These video presentations are dynamic and the class interaction is enlightening. Don't miss it!

Afrikan World Civilizations Class happens each Friday from 7-9 p.m. at Kaos Studios in Leimert Park, 4343 Leimert Blvd. (corner of Leimert and 43rd Place) in Los Angeles. Not yet enrolled? Pay only $15 per class. Our email address is: DrKwaku@hotmail.com.

Revisiting the Nile Valley

The Nile Valley is the most fascinating and inventive ancient civilization the world has ever experienced. Not only did human life begin there, but the foundation for human development, which we depend on today, evolved from the ingenious creativity of the Afrikans who occupied that area. We will take a unique and intimate look at the most debated ancient civilization on the planet.

We will be graced with the knowledge of such scholars as: Yosef ben-Jochannan, John Henrik Clarke, Asa Hilliard, Na'im Akbar, Leonard Jeffries, Basil Davidson, and more. For those who like to come early, you can relax to some of the best Black music, personally selected by Dr. Kwaku.
