One of our greatest historians, Dr. John Henerik Clarke informs us that, “THERE HAS BEEN A DELIBERATE DESTRUCTION OF AFRICAN CULTURE AND THE RECORDS RELATING TO THAT CULTURE. THIS DESTRUCTION STARTED WITH THE FIRST INVADERS OF AFRICA. IT CONTINUED THRU THE PERIOD OF SLAVERY AND THE COLONIAL SYSTEM. IT CONTINUES TODAY ON A MUCH HIGHER AND MORE DANGEROUS LEVEL. THERE ARE NOW ATTEMPTS ON THE HIGHEST ACADEMIC LEVEL TO DIVIDE AFRICAN HISTORY AND CULTURE WITHIN AFRICA IN SUCH A MANNER THAT THE BEST OF IT [ESPECIALLY THE AFRIKAN HISTORY OF ANTIQUITY] CAN BE CLAIMED, FOR EUROPEANS, OR AT LEAST ASIANS…AND THIS IS ONE OF THE WAYS THAT AFRIKAN PEOPLE HAVE BEEN PROGRAMMED OUT OF THE RESPECTFUL COMMENTARY OF [WORLD] HISTORY.”

5. "Gone with the Wind": The Invisibility of
Racism in American History Textbooks
When was the country we now know as the United States first settled? Ifwe forget the lesson of the last chapter for the moment—that Native
Americans settled—the best answer might be 1526. In the summer of that year,
five hundred Spaniards and one hundred black slaves founded a town neat the
mouth of the Pee Dee River in present-day South Carolina. Disease and disputes
with nearby Indians caused many deaths in the early months of the settlement.
In November the slaves rebelled, killed some of their masters, and escaped to
the Indians, By then only 150 Spaniards survived; they retreated to Haiti. The
ex-slaves remained behind and probably merged with nearby Indian nations.5
This is cocktail-party trivia, I suppose. American history textbooks cannot
be faulted for not mentioning that the first non-Native settlers in the United
States were black. Educationally, however, the incident has its uses. It shows that
Africans (is it too early to call them African Americans?) rebelled against slavery
from the first. It points to the important subject of three-way race relations—
Indian-African-European—which most textbooks completely omit. It teaches
that slavery cannot readily survive without secure borders. And, symbolically, it
illusttates that African Americans, and the attendant subject of black-white race
relations, were part of American history from the first European attempts to
settle.
Perhaps the most pervasive theme in our history is the domination of
black America by white America. Race is the sharpest and deepest division in
American life. Issues of black-white relations propelled the Whig Party to col-
lapse, prompted the formation of the Republican Party, and caused the Democ-
ratic Party to label itself the "white man's party" for almost a century. The first
time Congress ever overrode a presidential veto was for the 1866 Civil Rights
Act, passed by Republicans over the wishes of Andrew Johnson. Senators
mounted the longest filibuster in U.S. history, more than 534 hours, to oppose
the 1964 Civil Rights bill. Thomas Byrne Edsall has shown how race prompted
the sweeping political realignment of 1964-72, in which the white South went
131
from a Democratic bastion to a Republican stronghold.6 Race still affects poli-
tics, as evidenced by the notorious Willie Horton commercial used by George
Bush in the 1988 presidential campaign and the more recent candidacies of the
Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, Race riots continue to shake urban centers
from Miami to Los Angeles.
Almost no genre of our popular culture goes untouched by race. From the
1850s through the 1930s, except during the Civil War and Reconstruction,
minstrel shows, which derived in a perverse way from plantation slavery, were
the dominant form of popular entertainment in America. During most of that
period Uncle Tom's Cabin was our longest-running play, mounted in thousands of
productions. Am.

“How much longer are they gonna treat us like animals? The American correctional
system is built on the backs of our brothers, our fathers and our sons. How much
longer? It's a system that must be dismantled piece by piece if we are to live up to
those words that we recite with our hands on our hearts. Justice for all. Not justice
for some, but justice for all. How much longer?”—Cookie Lyons, “Empire” (2015)
“[The] artist’s role is to raise the consciousness of the people….Otherwise I don’t
know why you do it.”—Amiri Baraka1
1 In 1969, Larry Neal, one of the most visible black writers of his generation, emerged as a
chief exponent of a new artistic movement that was unfolding alongside the Black Power
Movement. For those curious about it, he explained that art had a critical role in the
Black Freedom Movement2 as a force to complement grassroots activism and political
struggle. Black artists were intimately connected to, and profoundly aware of, the black
freedom struggle; and their work reflected this familiarity. “The Black Arts Movement,”
Neal noted,
is radically opposed to any concept of the artist that alienates him from his
community. The movement…speaks directly to the needs and aspirations of black
America. In order to perform the task, the Black Arts Movement proposes a radical
reordering of the Western cultural aesthetic. It proposes a separate symbolism,
mythology, critique, and iconography.3
2 Throughout the United States a new black mood coalesced around aesthetes who
formulated new and audacious articulations of identity and politics that resonated with
wider black America. The Black Arts Movement (BAM) would have an indelible impact on
the cultural landscape of the country. It transformed the arts and literature in
innumerable ways from theatre, to murals, fashion, and more.
3 A half-century after Neal’s decree, there has been an unprecedented explosion of black
arts in the United States, exceeding the depth, scope, reach and influence of the BAM,

This is a slide show, lasting around 20-25 minutes if gone through continuously. Contains things about Nelson Mandela and his part in the South African Apartheid, Carter G. Woodson (founder of Black History Month) and Martin Luther King Jr. and how he helped the USA earn equality in the country. The clip for the I have a Dream speech will be at the bottom of this description.
Best for RE lessons, but can also be helpful in History Lessons. Furthermore, it can be used as a basis of biography writing in English. But can be used freely!
To play the speech, you'll have to go to the very start of the presentation, turn up the volume and press the play button at the bar where the left and right controls are. Listen, keep listening. And I'm sorry about this whole thing. I'll remove it soon and put in a hyperlink leading to another presentation, I promise this one will have the words. But for now, you'll have to stick with this. Sorry!
Thanks anyway!

Space, Place, and Digital Tools: Creating A Semester Long Digital AssignmentMichigan State University
This presentation outlines the origins and theory linked to a case study built around a segmented, semester long learning assignment whereby students utilize archival resources to critically analyze an EPA Superfund site in their local community. This project highlights the overlap between social, political, and economic challenges that shape urban environmental concern.
The emergence of black superhero characters offers a window on how comic creators balanced changing race relations, new political ideas, and market demands. Superhero comics offer a way to understand changing ideas about race, power, and society. The presentation examines the Black Panther, the first black superhero in U.S. comics and his home, the mystical land of Wakanda. In creating an African country untouched by European imperialism, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby began a dialogue about postcolonialism in Marvel Comics that continues to this day. This presentation explores the placement, evolution, and depiction Black Panther and his homeland since its creation in 1966. Both the hero and his homeland have grown in complexity as creators seek to explore power, identity, and agency linked to the African Diaspora.
At Rollins College, Julian Chambliss led a project that used community-based research to promote faculty dialogue and enhance student learning. Using former Rollins College faculty member Zora Neale Hurston as an orienting subject, this project brought multiple departments together under the banner of the Africa and African-American Studies (AAAS) Program to examine local history and culture. The project facilitated the inclusion of African-American content into participating classes using details of Hurston’s work as author, anthropologist, and her hometown of Eatonville, Florida, as a vehicle to delve deeper into the disciplinary focus of each the participating class. Culminating in an online repository of material, this project leveraged technology, archival research, and community resources to promote greater engagement.
Part of a presentation for the Florida Humanities Council Teacher's Center workshop. This presentation explore the African-American experience after the Civil War.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

the Negroes were freed and the

17. THE “UNDERCLASS” ARGUMENT
Charles Murray, Losing Ground:
American Social Policy, 1950 -
1980 (1984)
• In the 1960s, argued Murray, the
federal government expanded cash
and in- kind benefits for the poor. In
so doing, it lowered the economic
sanction for behaviors leading to
poverty - unemployment,
illegitimate childbirth, divorce, and
dropping out of school - and
reduced the relative rewards of
marriage, hard work, and traditional
family structures. In other words,
government began subsidizing
failure while doing nothing to
reinforce success.
22. - According to the Brookings Institution
- Crime rates has been in decline since the 1990s.
- The poor (people with incomes below 15,000) have
the highest rate of criminal victimization.
