The time is ripe to heed the long-standing, and most often overlooked, calls for Afrikan Unity, Cultural Development, Education and Social Transformation. Such is what RBG most fundamentally represents. Contrary to the prevailing, misinformed assumptions, RBG (Black Nationalism / PanAfrikanism ) as an ideology, interaction and academic process is not a rabid assertion of Black supremacy. Unlike white Nationalism and American patriotism, RBG (Black Nationalism / PanAfrikanism ) and its proponents do not seek to humiliate, exploit, or oppress any person or people. Rather, RBG / (Black Nationalism / PanAfrikanism ) is a positive affirmation of the cultural, political, social, economic and moral identity and concerns of African people. In its most rudimentary forms, it reacts to the brutally violent and repressive conditions under which African people have and continue to live. White supremacy / racism creates an environment where whites are necessarily viewed with suspicion, but we are not anti-white. We are Afrikan/ Black on purpose and Black folks must first and foremost be beholden to each other. The most basic expression of RBG (Black Nationalism/ PanAfrikanism ) thought is that Black / Afrikan people in America and throughout the diaspora are bound by the common history and experience of historical chattel and present day mental slavery, suffering and death under the boot heel of white supremacy / racism. Most importantly, RBG is about self-reliance, self- respect and self-defense toward the total liberation and unification of all Afrikan people that desire to defend, define and develop in our own image and interest.

It's all about The Blood, The People and The Land

By Any Means Necessary

RBG Street Scholars Think Tank is Scholarly Revolutionary Higher Education Presented Using An Interactive Edutaining Teaching Methodology. Our educational mission is to develop in each learner a Luv of learning by providing an Afri-Centered interactive learning environment that fosters problem solving, critical reading and writing, creative / artistic expression and positive character development (through the principles of Nguzo Saba & MA'AT ) -- combined with a rigorous basic education skills development program that includes the language arts, math, science, and technology (ICT) domains.

After having read and studied RBGz Student-Teacher Guide, the following documents will serve to sure up and solidify your Re-Afrikanization foundations; while at the same time providing you with a good field for the across networks / websites integration that makes RBG so unique. Many may see the information herein as basic and assume that they already know it. That may be true to some degree, but RBG is a progressively developing sequence that takes the learner from G.E.D. to PhD.; we all have gaps. Moreover, this is the first time in the history of our proper education process here in America that we have had a school that targets such a broad audience. Providing a product that attempts to put us all on the same page using us as the content is a monumental task to say the least.

Also I use a teaching theory called Overlearning. Just like one more frequently than not "under-learns" a topic / subject by not appreciating all the relationships; presenting previous data along with new data solidifies relational overstanding. So if you have seen or heard or read something in another context--please--don't skip over it in the new asset / application, if you want to catch on to the program quick and learn a lot in a short period.

Finally, we have to be considerate of all persons level of entry, as this tutor's primary task is the training of trainers, coaches, teachers, tutors, facilitators etc... in New Afrikan Cultural Development , Education and Socialization. RBG's methodological approach is grounded in the notion that "the best teacher is a good student". In other words, you need to see the full sequence and progression and be intimently familiar with the wealth of content at you disposal for creating your own lessons; if you intent to teach others void of gaps and with the latest technological tools and resources.

The Evolution of a Revolution:"From Jim Crow to Civil Rights to Black Liberation ?"

From Jim Crow to Civil Rights The 1950s was a very politically unstable time for Afrikan in American. Our rights were constantly under attack. All the efforts made during the Forties to integrate the Armed Forces were abolished during the Korean War. A new era of racist assassinations began to occur and we as a people started to take a stand against the system and business of white supremacy and its blatant racism. The NAACP argued cases in Southern states against the discriminatory... Read Full Story


The Purpose Of Education by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Morehouse College Student Paper, The Maroon Tiger, in 1947 As I engage in the so-called "bull sessions" around and about the school, I too often find that most college men have a misconception of the purpose of education. Most of the "brethren" think that education should equip them with the proper instruments of exploitation so that they can forever trample over the masses. Still others think that education should furnish them with noble ends rather than means... Read Full Story
