How America's Legacy Of Racial Terror Still Affects Black Wealth | Forbes
The decades after the civil war saw Black Americans slowly gain more economic and political power in some parts of the country. Some bought land, started businesses and built schools. But in many places where Black Americans succeeded, white Americans sought to destroy that success. While some of the stories may have been scrubbed from the records and textbooks throughout history, survivors and their descendants are speaking out, shedding light on the violent events that took place in their communities and exposing the lingering social and economic damage caused by some of the worst racial violence in American history.

PAN-AFRICANISM IS VITAL!!

Embracing History CORRECTLY
Background Information
Awful as race prejudice, lawlessness and ignorance are, we can fight time if we frankly face them and dare name them and tell the truth; but if we continually dodge and cloud the issue, and say the half truth because the whole stings and shames; if we do this, we invite catastrophe. Let us then in all charity but unflinching firmness set our faces against all statesmanship that looks in such directions. --W.E.B. DuBois
Black Americans already know the accomplishments and achievements of white Americans. It is in the fabric of the standard history of America, as seen through the eyes of white Americans. This is not to suggest that the learning of black history by white Americans would bring a quick and decisive end to racism, and the race issue, in America. But it is a critical pillar in the building of a bridge between the two Americas: a bridge of knowledge that spans the gulf of ignorance; a bridge of respect that spans the bay of disdain.
Our History From A World Perspective
Our histories are intertwined by the blood of slavery and the spirit of freedom. Slavery and freedom have been the central points of reference in America's history, with the common perception that the history of Black Americans begins with slavery and the prevalent view that Blacks contributed little to American or world civilization. This, of course, ignores the fact that rich civilizations flourished in Africa while Europe was still in its infancy.
Eureason And Eurocentric Thought
Subjectivity Objectivity
The writing of the history of one culture from the milieu of another culture ….rises serious questions of cultural bias and distortion.
It does not necessarily offer objectivity, and indeed could Not offer it in any sense in which this involves freedom and color.
In terms of objectivity, where it touches evaluation of facts and event, a cultural alien can only offer an alternative set of prejudices.
This is evident in this debate that places Greeks before the Egyptian or Kushite civilization “NOT OUT OF AFRICA DEBATE” Dr. John Henrik Clarke vs Mary Lefkowitz
PAN-AFRICANISM
Definition
Pan-Africanism is the idea that peoples of African descent have common interests and should be unified. Historically, Pan-Africanism has often taken the shape of a political or cultural movement. In more general terms, Pan-Africanism is the sentiment that people of African descent have a great deal in common, a fact that deserves notice and even celebration.
History Of Pan-Africanist Intellectuals
Pan-Africanist ideas first began to circulate in the mid-19th century in the United States, led by Africans from the Western Hemisphere. The most important early Pan-Africanists were Martin Delany and Alexander Crummel, both African Americans, and Edward Blyden, a West Indian. Those early voices for Pan-Africanism emphasized the commonalities between Africans and Black people in the United States. Delany, who believed that Black people could not prosper alongside whites, advocated the idea that African Americans should separate from the United States and establish their own nation. Crummel and Blyden, both contemporaries of Delany, thought that Africa was the best place for that new nation. Motivated by Christian missionary zeal, the two believed that Africans in the New World should return to their homelands and convert and civilize the inhabitants there. (Source: Britannica)
Pan-Africanism Is Essential For The Survival Of Black People
Contemporary Western Hemisphere champions of Pan-Africanism include the following:
1) Marcus Garvey
2) Kwame Ture (AKA: Stokely Carmichael)
3) Malcolm X
4) Don King
5) Rev. Baba Clarence E. Washington
Pan-Africanism And Its Association To The Rastafarian Religion
The Rastafarian religion is another entity developed in the Western Hemisphere that believe in a strong connection to Africa. Rastafarianism is Afrocentric and focuses attention on the African diaspora, which it believes is oppressed within Western society, or "Babylon". Many Rastas call for this diaspora's resettlement in Africa, a continent they consider the Promised Land, or "Zion".
One of the beliefs of the Rastafarian religion is that "Africa is for Africans, at home and abroad." Famous Rastafarian champions of this view included reggae icons Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, Winston Rodney (AKA: Burning Spear), Joseph Hill (AKA: Culture), Garnett Silk, and Buju Banton, just to name a few.
