A few years ago when I learned about the Martin Luther King Jr. monument that was to be constructed in our nation’s capital, I got excited. When I learned that the artist assigned to produce the sculpture of perhaps the most notable Negro in American history was a Negro himself, I got even more excited. [...]

Updated repost of one of my favorites. Thanks to Sister Anna for bringing it to my attention again after 3 years. I remember watching a couple of the Sherlock Holmes movies when I was a kid. I never thought much of them as the story lines didn’t really hold my interest, plus they were shown [...]

Arab historians have themselves established the contrary, and in contemporaneous detail, so that it is near common knowledge that a revolt of epical dimensions took place at least a millennium earlier, in [...]

I have become quite blasé about Black History Month over the last few years. It’s not that I don’t consider it important, but in reality, it’s not something we really own. I believe that we as a people need to invest our time and energy learning about our various histories, beginning in Africa and then in the lands, or [...]

One of the things I sometimes struggle with is whether or not to post and/or comment on an article which I find incredibly distasteful. In a way I am giving that person a platform to [...]
