FUNDAMENTALS IN AFRICAN HISTORY WITH RUNOKO RASHIDI
12 May 2016
Family, beginning Friday evening June 17 I will begin my Summer 2016 Facebook course. It is called Fundamentals in African History with Runoko Rashidi. All are welcome. The classes, taught through text, photos and videos, begin at 9:00 pm United States Eastern Standard Time and last approximately 2.5 hours per class. The contents of each class will remain posted throughout the duration of the course if you cannot participate live.
The classes, of which there will be twelve, are interactive, meaning there is ample time for questions and answers and discussion. The course project, completely voluntary, is to compile a succinct timeline of the history of African rebellions and resistance movements, at home and abroad.
The complete cost of the course is only $50.00 per household. The total amount is used to help subsidize our ongoing efforts to rewrite and reconstruct the global history of African people. The course will be taught on a special Facebook page set up specifically for this purpose.
To pay your $50.00 tuition post via Paypal to Runoko@hotmail.com. You will be immediately notified upon receipt of payment and enrolled in the course.
No special equipment is required. You only need a Facebook account.
Here are the individual classes. I reserve the right of course to make revisions to the course.

The Golden Age of the Olmec
The Moors in History
The Great Kings and Queens of Ancient Egypt
The Black Presence in Southeast Asia

Students are encouraged to make a difference and to apply their knowledge, skills and experience in their homes, schools and communities. YLS is specifically designed for middle and high school students who are ready to impact change for greatness.
Many of our students have demonstrated leadership abilities in their schools and communities. Students who complete the Still I Rise leadership day seminar will receive a certificate acknowledging student leadership training.

Ancestry - Elder Kwasi Imhotep
Date: Mon, May 2, 2016 at 3:39 PM
Subject: Ancestry - Kwasi Imhotep
As I approached my 70th year last year, I began contemplating the very ancient Afrikan concepts of Ancestry as well as my own eventual transition therein. Not coincidentally, my youngest Granddaughter and I both share the same birth month; she 7 and I 70.
In the Afrikan world, they speak of an affinity between the very young and the elders; one is going where the other has recently left: they are reverse parallels, of sorts.
As my own ancestry beckons to me, I find my self
checking/re-checking my life to be found 'justified' at my own judgment, in the KMT spiritual system--the weighing of the heart and the Feather of Ma'at. In doing so, thoughts pervade my mind of just how callous so many people are with reference to the ancestors.
One recent incident involved a contractor who worked at our home briefly. His name, Goala, an Arabic-Egyptian born Christian, who questioned me about the gold Ankh that I have worn around my neck for years. His purpose, I later learned, was to get me to 'receive Jesus' before it's too late. It didn't matter to him when I said that this ankh symbol comes from my very, very ancient Afrikan TWA ancestors as a sign of Divine Life and that to turn my back on my ancestors by embracing one of the Abrahamitic religions responsible for the un-told deaths and destruction of so many countless
multi-millions of my ancestors would be a sacrilege of the gravest nature. He, himself, has abdicated the indigenous cultural religion of his Arabic people in favor of another and wants me to similarly betray my own indigenous Afrikan cultural spirituality!
Goala sputtered out something about the slavery mentioned in his religious book was not the same as that suffered by my ancestors. I don't know what his sources are, but my research shows that chattel slavery practiced by the early Romans was just as brutal and devastating as that practiced by George Washington, for instance, himself a 'good Christian' of the Anglican/Episcopalian faith. Washington was called "the largest slave holder in Fairfax County VA" by a Washington Post article; having about 316 Afrikan captives working 400 acres without pay. The article mentioned that he restricted his captives from working on the periphery of his land to prevent them from being seen by the public. He even took 9 Afrikan captives with him to work in the President's house in Philadelphia, and ostensibly arranged for their 'freedom' upon his death, but never liberated any of them while he lived.
Goala said that I don't understand his bible, but I understand respect for my ancestors, unlike some dark-skin Christians who claim they are performing ancestral libations in their churches, when in fact their religious book disdains the ancestral concept. "But the dead know nothing, they have no further reward, even their name is forgotten" Ecl 9:5
I can accept that Goala, an Arab/Egyptian, has chosen the religion of his people's oppressors, but he can't accept that I have chosen the ancient spiritual concepts of my own Afrikan culture which gives me a promise of eternal life to live "for a period of millions of years, you shall never die" after judgment, coupled with the opportunity to "take any form I wish in any place my spirit wishes to be" (The Husia). Maybe even the form of a god in the pantheon of the eternal gods. Kwasi

Evites: African Liberation DAy 2016, Black Power 50 & Black Power, Black Lives and Pan-Africanism Comference
| View this email as Webpage |
58 years ago, on April 15, 1958, Kwame Nkrumah, the Convention Peoples Party and the Government of Ghana organized Africa Freedom Day at the conclusion of the First Conference of Independent African States. On May 25, 1963 the Founding Conference of the Organization of African Unity OAU) changed Africa Freedom Day’s name to African Liberation Day (ALD). ALD activities have been commemorated in every corner of Africa, the African Diaspora and the World since 1963.
On May 21, 2016, the All-African People’s Revolutionary Party (GC) is organizing African Liberation Day 2016 in Washington, DC under the banner: “Black Visibility is not Black Power; White Power in Black Face is not Black Power! Revolutionary Pan-Africanism is the Highest Expression of Black Power”. ALD 2016 is being organized in solidarity with Palestine (NAKBAR) Day 2016 and the Pan-African and international struggle against zionism.
The A-APRP (GC) invites and encourages you to join us at ALD 2016 in Washington DC, to attend an ALD event in your area, or where you find there is not an ALD in your area, build one!
You can register your attendance here, ALD 2016
50 years ago, on June 16, 1966 Kwame Ture, then known as Stokely Carmichael, reclaimed the African masses millennial and generational demand for Black Power. This demand reverberated to every corner of Africa, the African Diaspora and the World and catapulted Kwame onto the Pan-African and international political stage. More than 1.5 billion People of African descent live, work, study, and struggle in over 120 countries in the world today, and yet we are still powerless, poor and oppressed.
From June 16 to 19, 2016, the A-APRP (GC), the Chokwe Lumumba Center and the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement are organizing a Black Power, Black Lives and Pan-Africanism Conference in Jackson, Mississippi. We invite and encourage you to join us.
You can register your attendance here, Black Power Conference!
The A-APRP (GC) has also joined forces with the SNCC Legacy Project to organize local Black Power 50 events, on June 16, 2016, across the United States, Africa, the African Diaspora and the World. We invite those who cannot join us in Jackson to help build and attend an event on your campus or in your city.
The All-African People’s Revolutionary Party (GC) is a small and poor organization. We do not mystify or exaggerate our capacity. We need your help!
Please make a donation via PayPal TODAY!
See you in DC and Jackson!
Attend another African Liberation Day or Black Power 50 event in your area, or build one!
Send us information about, and link your African Liberation Day and Black Power event to ours!

Travel: OLMEC HEADS, BLACK COMMUNITIES, MEXICO, GUATELMALA & BELIZE [2 Attachments]
Family,
In June I and Marcus Garvey's UNIA & ACL are leading an African heritage group through Mexico, Guatemala and Belize. We will visit African communities and historical and archaeological sites, but we will start with a visit to the Olmec heads in the Anthropology Museum in Xalapa. This is one of the great museums of the world and houses seven of the seventeen known Olmec heads. I am personally going to lead the tour through the museum. So come along with us! It is not too late to sign up! Get your money in and come see for yourself. http://drrunoko.com/african-history/runoko-rashidi-and-the-unia-acl-host-the-best-of-mexico-guatemala-belize-june-2016/

April is Military Sexual Trauma Awareness Month !
On Friday, April 1, 2016 10:56 AM, "GG_Associates@gngassoc.com"
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) uses the term "military sexual trauma" or "MST" to refer to sexual assault or sexual harassment during military service and has services available to assist Veterans in their recovery from MST.
- Veterans can receive free treatment for mental and physical health conditions related to their experiences of MST at every VA medical facility. Veterans do not need to have documentation of their experiences and may be able to receive care even if they are not eligible for other VA services.
- Veterans can apply for disability compensation for any current difficulties that are related to their service, including difficulties related to MST.
For more information
- For help with health care and treatment related to MST, please contact your local VA medical center and ask to speak to the MST Coordinator.
- For help with disability compensation related to MST, please contact G&G/LSA at http://gngassociates.net/about-gglsa/ to setup an appointment to talk with one of our VA Disability claim intake coordinators.
