How much Black History do you know?

How much are you willing to learn?

I love to find whatever supporting

Black achievements. I always seek

to find something many people have not

heard and even if one person has NOT

heard I'm still glad I wrote it.

Even if its familiar and just

something to talk about that's all

good too. I'm ready to inform you

of the facts.


The University of pennsylvania will began offering

a new Ph. D program for Africana Studies. This

is a decision based on the Center of Africana

Studies of the School of Arts and Sciences

starting in 2009-2010. So they will target

the most important in depth issues of

Africana Studies, spanning history, society,

and culture.


This program involves African, African American, and African

Diaspora studies. This doctoral program will get

students ready to live and work effectively and

knowledgably for social interdependence. This shows

the desires of citizenship status of African Americans

with civil rights and black power movements.

My say on this is that the more

Black History the better the world is. Black HIstory is

all day everyday all the time. All other companies,

schools, colleges, need to jump on the bandwagon.

THey can even compare their programs with each

other. Black HIstory is life, the more of it you

know the more life you give, the more meaning

to life.

This is great.

I continue to be amazed that all this 'academic power' is never address at the issue of regaining societal presence...recognition...as an ethnicity.

I have never seen...read of...such a consideration, or discussion.

Since the 60s and 70s there have been academic studies, and theses done on the change to the 'black' terminology 'nigrescence', and other such behavioral things.

Nothing has been initiated...that I have seen...to advance the reestablishment of ethnicity for those of us who are of unknown African ancestry.

Wonder why?
