Alexander Crummell (1819-1898) was a pioneering African American pastor, professor, and advocate of Pan-Africanism and black nationalism. Born free in New York to abolitionist parents, he faced discrimination but became the first black student at Cambridge University in England. Crummell believed that racial solidarity and unity between people of African descent worldwide was needed to overcome challenges like slavery. He spent several years in Liberia as a missionary but struggled to realize his vision of an independent black nation. Throughout his life, Crummell advocated for racial pride, self-sufficiency, and separate black institutions like the American Negro Academy. Though facing setbacks, he was an influential voice in the Pan-African and black nationalist movements

The fascinating account of the men and motives that led to the taking of the John Brown Bell from Harpers Ferry by a group of men from Co. I, 13th Mass Infantry during the Civil War. And the equally fascinating account of the completion of John Brown's task by these same soldiers.
The pivotal role of the Black Church in the lives of African Americans can not be described in words short of “life saving.” The church provided the foundation for the very survival of African Americans in North America during and after slavery. It has been noted that most of the first Black congregations and churches formed before 1800 were founded by free Blacks. These individuals saw the church as an institution that could provide earthly comforts, and eventually, heavenly salvation.
The Black Church has played - - and continue to play - - different roles in the lives of their members. First and foremost, the church has played a religious role. The church has been that calming element in the Black community. The church has also served as the one institution in the Black community where a variety of causes and organizations could meet and develop strategies and tactics to deal with pressing short and long-term issues in the community. The church provided a ready made laboratory for different groups to experiment with ways to solve and address concern in the community.
The Black church has been the keeper of the cultural trends in the community. The varying organizations have used the church as the foundation for building and developing the cultural components in most communities. The birthing of different economic development groups has occurred over time in the Black Church. These organizations have used the captured membership as a way to execute ideas to enhance the Black Community.
The central role of the Black Church in the modern-day Civil Rights Movement will be explored from all perspectives. To be sure, those civil rights organizations that were not founded in the church were profoundly influenced by church leaders and their membership.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
Alexander Crummell, Afrikan Pastor, Professor and Afrikan Nationalist

Alexander Crummell
Alexander Crummell (March 3, 1819, New York City,
September 10, 1898, Red Bank, New Jersey) was a pioneering
*Afrikan pastor, professor and Afrikan Nationalist.
*We of the New Afrikan Independence Movement spell "Afrikan" with a "k" because Afrikan
linguists originally used "k" to indicate the "c" sound in the English language. We use the term
"New Afrikan," instead of Black, to define ourselves as an Afrikan people who have been forcibly
transplanted to a new land and formed into a "new Afrikan nation" in North America. But our
struggle behind the walls did not begin in America.

Born to a former slave, Boston Crummell, and freeborn Charity Hicks,
Alexander Crummell was seemingly destined to become an abolitionist.
According to Crummell's own account, his paternal grandfather was an ethnic
Temne born in Sierra Leone, and was captured into slavery when he was around
13 years old.[1] Both parents were active abolitionists, and the first African
American newspaper, Freedom's Journal, was published within their home.
Boston Crummell also instilled in his son a sense of unity with those blacks still
living in Africa. His parents' influence and these early experiences within the
abolitionist movement shaped Crummell’s values, beliefs, and actions
throughout the rest of his life. For example, even as a boy in New York,
Crummell worked for the American Anti-Slavery Society.
Crummell began his formal education in the African Free School No. 2 and at
home with private tutors. He then attended the Canal Street High School. After graduating, Crummell,
along with his friend Henry Highland Garnet, attended the Noyes Academy in New Hampshire. The
school, however, was destroyed by a lynch mob and Crummell enrolled in the Oneida Institute. While
studying there, Crummell decided to become a priest within the Episcopalian faith, and pursued that end
with the same enthusiasm he had pursued the rest of his education. Unfortunately, Crummell was denied
admission to the General Theological Seminary solely because of his race. In spite of such discrimination,
Crummell went on to receive holy orders at the behest of several clergymen sympathetic to his position
and was ordained in 1842. As he struggled against ambivalence and low attendance, Crummell took a trip
to Philadelphia to petition an audience with the Bishop to argue for a large audience to preach his
message. Bishop Onderdonk replied that "I will receive you into this diocese on one condition: No negro
priest can sit in my church convention and no negro church must ask for representation there." Crummell
is said to have paused for a moment, made up his mind and said, "I will never enter your diocese on such
terms."[2]
Career
In 1847, Crummell traveled to England to raise money for his congregation at the Church of the Messiah.
While there, Crummell preached, spoke about abolitionism in the United States, and raised almost $2,000.
Crummell was also interested in attending either the University of Oxford or that at Cambridge, and when
such an opportunity presented itself, he grabbed it. From 1849 to 1853, Crummell studied at Queens'
College, Cambridge, sponsored by Benjamin Brodie, Wilberforce, Arthur Penrhyn Stanley, James
Anthony Froude and Thomas Babington Macaulay,[3][4] although he had to take his finals twice to
receive his degree.

During his time at the Cambridge, Crummell continued to travel around Britain and speak out about
slavery and the plight of the black people. Crummell formulated his most central belief for the
advancement of the African race, Pan-Africanism, during this epoch. Crummell believed that in order to
achieve their potential, the African race as a whole, including those in the Americas, the West Indies, and
Africa, needed to unify under the banner of race. Racial solidarity, to him, was the solution to slavery,
discrimination, and continued attacks on the African race. To that end, Crummell decided to move to
Africa to spread his message.
He arrived in Liberia in 1853, at the point in that country's history when Americo-Liberians had begun to
govern. Crummell came as a missionary of the American Episcopal Church, with the stated aim of
converting the native people. Though previously against colonization, experiences in Liberia changed his
mind and he became convinced of its benefits (see Civilizing mission). Crummell wove colonization into
his Pan-African ideology, preaching that "enlightened," or Christianized , Africans in the United States
and the West Indies had a duty to come back to Africa. There, they would help civilize and Christianize
the continent. When enough native Africans had been converted, they would take over converting the rest
of the population while those from America and the West Indies would continue to educate the people
and run a republican government. Crummell’s grand scheme never came to fruition, with interest in
colonization waning and the failure of "enlightened" blacks to perform the duty he had laid out for them.
While he did successfully serve as both a pastor and professor in Liberia, Crummell was never able to set
up the government and society he dreamed of. In 1873, he returned to the United States.
Once back on American soil, Crummell took on the task of running St. Mary’s Episcopal Mission. He
was rector of St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Washington, D. C. from 1875 to 1894. Despite prior
frustrations, he never stopped working for the racial solidarity he had advocated for so long. Throughout
his life, Crummell continued to work for black nationalism, self-help, and separate economic
development. He spent the last years of his life setting up the American Negro Academy, which opened in
1897. Alexander Crummell died in Red Bank, New Jersey in 1898.
Influence
Though most of his work never produced the intended results, Crummell was an important voice within
the abolition movement and a vocal leader of the Pan-African ideology. His achievements, which include
a college education, becoming a priest, and setting up the American Negro Academy, are nothing less
than impressive. His contributions to the academic world, via his sermons and written works, leave the
impression of a well-educated, well-spoken, and well-written black man who believed deeply and
fervently in the Pan-African idea and worked most of his life to achieve it. Crummell's legacy can be seen
not in his personal achievements, but in the influence he exerted on other black nationalists and Pan-
Africanists, such as Marcus Garvey, Paul Laurence Dunbar, and W. E. B. Du Bois. Du Bois paid tribute
to Crummell with a memorable essay entitled "Of Alexander Crummell," collected in his 1903 book, The
Souls of Black Folk. In 2002, scholar Molefi Kete Asante listed Alexander Crummell on his list of 100
Greatest African Americans.[5]
