Profundo!!! Watch this again and again. What I Wasn’t Taught In School?
It is about time we change the Black History in our education systems. First correction; Black history did not start from the cotton field, neither did it start from the slave ship. Beginning our history from there only instills self-hate and anger. Black history goes across seas to Africa , and beyond the name “África”. Africa was once called AlkeBulan, many of us are descendants of Kings and Queens, great warriors, scientist, inventors, scolars but all these are hidden from us.

No , not many of us know this, and it may even come as surprise for others to find out that the elevator, the electric lampbulb, the clothes dryer, the air conditioning unit were all from the hands of our great Black ancestors. Invention is not the only badge we carry, but a rich African culture which followed us to the Diaspora have also influenced lifestyles and cultures around the world; Be it fashion, música, bailar, comida, arte, and even spirituality and medicine. It is important for our education system to incorporate and/or elaborate further into these historical facts to inspire and empower the new generation of people( Black or White, Red or Blue) if there is a common goal of tearing down the walls of ignorance, stereotype, discrimination and racism. But it is more important for us Blacks to find ourselves and pride in ourselves.
Word On The Curb presents a Spoken word short film for those frustrated at Black History teaching in schools.”There seems to be a lot you haven’t told us, and you shut down and hold back on the bold ones who stand against the way you’re trying to mould us”
La educación Historia Negro no enseña, por qué?
Inspirado en la filosofía de Bob Marley "nadie más que nosotros puede liberar nuestra mente", Orijin es una única "cultura de la marca" la conexión de todos los descendientes de africanos en conjunto a través de su Marca de moda y sugerente revista de influir en nuestro mundo de vida amplia ...
