Centered: Building Afrikan Realities – Mwalimu Baruti

Description

Centered: Building Afrikan Realities

 

This course is specifically designed for Warriors who already understand, or have a need to gain clarity about, what comes with claiming ownership of an uncompromising commitment rooted in war.  It is for those of us who are courageous enough to see where we have been and our condition in this reality through the eyes of our strongest Ancestors.  And, it is for those Afrikans who, from this understanding, know that it is we who must fight to destroy what hurts us and rebuild what helps us, using every means and energy at our disposal, in order to regain control over ourstory, our Way and our destiny.  This course is about being Afrikan and nationbuilding.  It is about how to correctly, knowledgeably, politically and practically define and create a reality that reflects the spirit of our Ancestors in the face of a relentless, invasive, anti-Afrikan world.
