Education

Olatunji received a Rotary scholarship in 1950 and was educated at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia,


Social activism

Olatunji was known for making an impassioned speech for social justice before performing in front of a live audience. His progressive political beliefs are outlined in The Beat Of My Drum: An Autobiography, with a foreword by Joan Baez, (Temple University Press, 2005). He toured the American south with Rev. Martin Luther King Jr and joined King in the march on Washington. When he performed before the United Nations General Assembly, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev took off his shoes and danced. Later, he was one of the first outside performers to perform in Prague at Václav Havel's request. On July 21, 1979, he appeared at the Amandla Festival along with Bob Marley, Dick Gregory, Patti LaBelle and Eddie Palmieri, amongst others.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kwame_Nkrumah

October 1935 Nkrumah sailed from Liverpool to the United States and enrolled in Lincoln University in Pennsylvania. He graduated with a BA in 1939, and received a Bachelor of Sacred Theology in 1942. Nkrumah earned a Master of Science in education from the University of Pennsylvania in 1942, and a Master of Arts in philosophy the following year. While lecturing in political science at Lincoln he was elected president of the African Students Organization of America and Canada. As an undergraduate at Lincoln he participated in at least one student theater production and published an essay on European government in Africa in the student newspaper, The Lincolnian

During his time in the United States, Nkrumah preached at black Presbyterian Churches in Philadelphia and New York City.[7] He read books about politics and divinity, and tutored students in philosophy. Nkrumah encountered the ideas of Marcus Garvey and in 1943 met and began a lengthy correspondence with Trinidadian Marxist C.L.R. James, Russian expatriate Raya Dunayevskaya, and Chinese-American Grace Lee Boggs, all of whom were members of a US based Trotskyist intellectual cohort. Nkrumah later credited James with teaching him 'how an underground movement worked'. Nkrumah's association with these radicals drew him to the attention of the FBI and he was under surveillance by early 1945.

He arrived in London in May 1945 intending to study at the LSE.[7] After meeting with George Padmore, he helped organize the Fifth Pan-African Congress in Manchester, England. Then he founded the West African National Secretariat to work for the decolonization of Africa. Nkrumah served as Vice-President of the West African Students' Union (WASU). Nkrumah's association with left wing radicals meant that he was watched by Special Branch whilst he was in England between 1945 and 1947.

AjanleKoko: . . . and we were colonized by the UK.
So no surprise Nigerian graduates don't want to sweat for a decent paycheck.

The U.S. is still the Queen Mum's colony(secretly) also.

Many graduates in the U.S. wait on tables in restaurants, do menial jobs, work in retail until something opens up on a higher level, or until they save enough capital to start their own business. Same with Chinese grads. Unemployed graduates in the U.K. sit on their arses and do nothing because of the class/caste mental system.

Don't be ashamed to take a humble position in an dynamic organization and grow your skills. Drivers need managers, managers need dispatchers and logistic personnel. Fleet service need parts inventory managers.

Chanchit: This chinese guys are really pulling strings o, even America/ Europe are not being left out of the take over, they even produce fake tobacco.. Very soon, we will catch those their athlets, i know they are on something funny...

real talk .....


A Chinese Group Plans To Construct A 200 Acre "China City" In Michigan

A Chinese group known as "Sino-Michigan Properties LLC" has bought up 200 acres of land near the town of Milan, Michigan. Their plan is to construct a "China City" with artificial lakes, a Chinese cultural center and hundreds of housing units for Chinese citizens. Essentially, it would be a little slice of communist China dropped right into the heartland of America.

http://www.rightsidenews.com/2012051016200/life-and-science/culture-wars/chinese-cities-coming-to-america.html

This "China City" would be located about 40 minutes from both Detroit and Toledo, and it would be marketed to Chinese business people that want to start businesses in the United States. Unfortunately, this is not just an isolated incident. In fact, Chinese companies have been buying up land and businesses all over the country in recent years. There has even been talk of establishing "special economic zones" inside the United States modeled after the Chinese city of Shenzhen. It was inevitable that the Chinese were going to do something with the trillions of dollars that they have made flooding our shores with cheap products. Now they are rapidly buying up pieces of America, and many of our politicians are welcoming them with open arms.

NGAYE MEKHE, Senegal (AP) — It has taken generations for cobblers in this village to perfect the pointy-toed slippers once favored by local kings, and now considered an indispensable fashion accessory of well-dressed Senegalese men.

It only took months for the Chinese to copy and mass produce the local design, making them out of plastic instead of leather and selling them for a quarter of the price.

The Senegalese government has so far not regulated the import of Chinese-made replicas of local crafts, so the most prominent shoemakers of Ngaye Mekhe have come up with their own retaliation: They are refusing to sell their slippers to Chinese visitors.

"If I see a Chinese person, I put my hand up like this," said Mactar Gueye, his palm open, in the universal gesture for stop. "It's not that I'm afraid of them. I just won't sell to them."

In a veiled swipe at China's role in Africa, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton told a university audience in Senegal on Wednesday that the U.S. will tie investment to human rights and sustainable development. Though she did not mention China by name, it's clear that Africans are being asked to ponder their relationship with China, which recently became the continent's main trading partner.

Trade between the two sides hit a record $166 billion last year, a threefold increase since 2006, while direct investment is $14.7 billion, Chinese Commerce Minister Chen Deming said earlier this month. In almost every nation on the continent, China has undertaken major public works projects from the presidential palace in Guinea, to a $100 million hydroelectric dam in Gabon, to paving close to 140 miles (220 kilometers) of roads in Congo.

But the investment usually comes with strings attached, with infrastructure traded for access to Africa's vast mineral wealth as well as its marketplaces.

It's been an especially raw deal for the continent's dwindling artisans — not just its slipper makers but also the weavers of Ghana's ceremonial kente cloth, as well as the dyers of the vibrant wax prints worn by West African women, which have been copied and sold for less by China.

Brothers Mactar and Moussa Gueye, whose grandfather made the slippers worn by the kings of the local Cayor kingdom, said their first encounter with China was at a trade fair in Senegal's capital, Dakar, in 1998. A Chinese trader approached their stand and admired their shoes, returning several times to look though never buying anything, said Mactar Gueye.

Not long after, a group of Chinese buyers traveled to Ngaye Mekhe. The town, with a population of 25,000, is often called Senegal's "shoe capital" because the shoemakers here display their slippers on racks on either side of National Highway No. 1.

"They told me they were interested in buying our product. They lied. By the end of the year, the market was flooded with my design — only made in plastic by the Chinese," said 46-year-old Mactar Gueye.

If the slippers made in this Senegalese town sell for no less than $20, the Chinese replicas sell for $4. And if it takes a master craftsman here around a day to sew one of his creations, the Chinese can make them by the thousands in factories in Asia, sending them in containers to Senegal's port.

"Our government should have protected us," says the eldest of the three brothers, 53-year-old Moussa Gueye. "The knockoffs, they come in through the port, right? So why don't our authorities control what comes in?

"What bothers me is these are people who never buy anything here, they only come to sell," he says. Then he adds: "I take that back. They never buy anything that is above ground," he said. "Only what is under our soil."

In a speech on relations with Africa earlier this month, Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Zhai Jun hit back at critics of China's growing influence in Africa and denied that China is practicing a new form of colonialism, saying China's economic backing is giving African countries options they never had under a Western-led world order.

During her speech in Dakar, Clinton never mentioned China by name, saying the United States is committed to "a model of sustainable partnership that adds value, rather than extracts it" from Africa, language that many interpret as a jab at China's infrastructure-for-minerals model of investment. For the continent's craftsmen, China's ever-growing footprint has been hard to battle.

At the HLM market in Dakar, women weave through the stalls displaying the latest African prints — except that almost none of them is made in Africa anymore.

Oumar Thiam, the accountant of a bustling store, has a Yahoo inbox dotted with emails from vendors whose names appear in Mandarin characters. His shop has only ever sold Chinese knockoffs of African waxprint fabrics.

"They are very similar to the original. If there's a difference, it's in the quality, but it's so much cheaper," he said.

Africa expert Peter Pham says that just in northern Nigeria, a quarter-of-a-million jobs have been lost in the textile industry.

"Certainly these cheaper products make it affordable for more people, but at the same time, it has eviscerated the manufacturing sector in Africa," says Pham, who is the director of the Africa Center at the Washington-based Atlantic Council. "They can't beat the price of the Chinese knockoffs."

Back in Ngaye Mekhe, the workshop of the Gueye brothers is still operating at full tilt, despite the onslaught of fake slippers. The brothers made their first slippers at the age of 10, learning from their grandfather.

Since then, their shoes have been worn by a Senegalese president and their client list reads like a Who's Who of the country's ruling elite. They have managed to stay in business, because the upper crust of Senegalese society appreciates the difference in quality, and is willing to spend extra for their double-lined, soft-leather shoes, mounted on high-end rubber and ranging in color from cherry red to sable gray.

The pointy-toed slippers are typically worn by Senegalese men on special occasions, like baptisms or weddings. They are also the footwear of choice on Fridays, when men don flowing robes and head to the mosque, leaving the slippers in long rows on the curb outside.

The toll on the roughly 1,500 other shoemakers here has been hard to weather, and many artisans say they are struggling to pass on the craft to their sons, who no longer see a future in it. Besides slippers, they have diversified and are now also making sandals as well as loafers. The shoemakers sit on the side of National Highway No. 1, next to their pearly-white and ruby-red creations that grace their outdoor racks.

Besides not selling to the Chinese, the Gueye brothers have another tactic. The copied shoes have soles that come off after a few months.

"The best part is people then bring me these shoes, the Chinese shoes! And ask me to fix them," scoffs Mactar Gueye. "My rule is I don't let the Chinese buy my shoes. And I won't fix any Chinese babooshes," he says, using the local word for slippers. "This is about our survival."

Trinidad and Tobago's Emancipation Day

Trinidad and Tobago's Emancipation Day is celebrated to mark the end of slavery for Africans in the British Caribbean on August 1, 1838, and has been observed as a national holiday in Trinidad and Tobago since 1985, while Jamaica attained independence from Great Britain in 1962.

On August 1, 1985, Trinidad and Tobago became the first country in the world to declare a national holiday to commemorate the abolition of slavery.

http://www.trinidadandtobagonews.com/forum/webbbs_config.pl/noframes/read/1171

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emancipation_Day

Emancipation Day is celebrated in many former British colonies in the Caribbean and areas of the United States on various dates in observance of the emancipation of slaves of African origin. It is also observed in other areas in regard to the abolition of serfdom or other forms of servitude.

Minister Peters' Emancipation Day address

[img]http://news.co.tt/public_html/images/articles/20120730132358958_1.jpg[/img]

The following is the address delivered by the Honourable Winston 'Gypsy' Peters, Minister of Community Development at the Ministry's Emancipation Day celebrations at its Head Office on Jerningham Avenue, Belmont on Monday July 30, 2012.

All protocols observed.

A very pleasant good afternoon and I hope you have enjoyed the programme so far. This Emancipation Celebration commemorates 178 years since the Emancipation Proclamation was read on steps of the Treasury Building right here in Port of Spain.
And today at the Ministry of Community Development, we celebrate that historic event which brought an end to our African ancestors being treated as property.

In the 21st Century it may be hard for us to imagine that humans, our own ancestors were bought and sold as property, forced to provide free labour, held against their will and deprived of all human rights.
And it is for those reasons – underscored by the long and bitter struggle for the liberation of these ancestors – that this celebration bears much significance.
I must extend my thanks to the Planning Committee for putting together this important commemoration highlighted by the performances of the Tongalani Durmmers and Zakiya Gill. And we are pleased to have been educated by the very learned Brother Apechoe Mutope. Can we give them a round of applause please?

Let me add by saying, Emancipation Day does not only celebrate Liberation; it is also an occasion for revival - an occasion where each and every one of us renew our conviction to lead purposeful lives and chart a common future. And therefore, today we celebrate self-determination.
This celebration of Emancipation Day as an event was officially introduced to the world in 1985 by our nationals of Trinidad and Tobago spearheaded by NJAC and Makandal Daaga. The official recognition of this day then led to a wave of Emancipation commemoration in Jamaica, Guyana, Turks and Caicos and even as far off as Ghana.

Trinidad and Tobago has led the way among people of African ancestry rekindling their pride in the hard-fought struggle for economic, spiritual and psychological liberation wherever they might be in the world.
As we mark this August celebration, we must also remember that throughout this month we also celebrate our nation’s 50th year as an independent nation. The contributions of the descendants of Africans, along with myriad of people who have settled in our islands, have built a strong, resilient nation, embracing all of its peoples.

So once again I thank you for your participation in today’s celebration and may we all use Wednesday August 1st as a day of reflection as we move onward towards the quest of even greater tomorrows.

Let us constantly emphasize to the children of the Africans in Trinidad and Tobago that it was the positive struggle by our fore-parents that brought us success as a people.
And it was neglect and abandonment of that struggle by succeeding generations that brought us to where we are today.
And it is only re-connection with that positive history of struggle that will see the rise of the African once again.

Thank you. May God continue to bless us all and may God bless our nation.

All-Seeing Eye Symbolism

https://vigilantcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/allseeingeye.jpg

allseeingeye

You only need to look at a couple of Lady Gaga pictures or videos to notice that she is constantly hiding one of her eyes. Most people will simply interpret this as ”a cool thing to do” or a “fashion statement”. Those who have passed the 101 of Illuminati symbolism know that the All-Seeing Eye is probably its most recognizable symbol. The gesture of hiding one eye, usually the left one, goes way back in occult orders. Here’s an explanation of the origin of the Eye of Horus.

Horus, the sun of Osiris and Isis was called ‘Horus who rules with two eyes’. His right eye was white and represented the sun: his left eye was black and represented the moon. According to the myth, Horus lost his left eye to his evil brother, Seth, who he fought to avenge Seth’s murder of Osiris. Seth tore out of the eye but lost the fight. The eye was reassembled by magic, by Thoth, the god of writing, the moon and magic. Horus presented his eye to Osiris, who experienced rebirth in the underworld.
