"It appears increasingly fashionable in the West for a number of broadcasters, websites, news agencies, newspapers and magazines, the United Nations/allied agencies and some governments, writers and academics to use the term ‘sub-Saharan Africa’ to refer to all of Africa except the five predominantly Arab states of north Africa (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt) and the Sudan, a north-central African co untry. Even though its territory is mostly located south of the Sahara Desert, the Sudan is excluded from the ‘sub-Saharan Africa’ tagging by those who promote the use of the epithet because the regime in power in Khartoum describes the country as ‘Arab’ despite its majority African population. ‘Sub-Saharan Africa’ is undoubtedly a racist geopolitical signature in which its users aim repeatedly to present the imagery of the desolation, aridity, and hopelessness of a desert environment. This is despite the fact that the overwhelming majority of one billion Africans do ...

Black and Tan Republicans were African Americans in the Reconstruction-era South who were loyal to the Republican Party.  When the Republican Party was founded in 1854, few African Americans joined.  By the time of the election of Abraham Lincoln, the Party began to attract support from Northern blacks. That support continued to grow into the late 1860's as many Southern blacks, now voting, cast ballots for the Republicans. After the 15th Amendment to the US Constitution was passed in 1870, allowing most of the black males in the former Confederate states to vote,  the Republican Party (also known as the Grand Old Party or GOP) commanded the loyalty of an overwhelming majority of African Americans. Many of the newly enfranchised Southern black men now formed "Black and Tan" clubs, which along with similar organizations like the Union League, helped to institutionally tie these voters to the Republican Party.  Black Republican votes were also driven b...

(born  January 1, 1915 – July 12, 1998), was a  Pan-Africanist  writer, historian, professor, and a pioneer in the creation of  Africana studies  and professional institutions in academia starting in the late 1960's. He was born  John Henry Clark  on January 1, 1915, in  Union Springs, Alabama , the youngest child of  sharecroppers  John (Doctor) and Willie Ella (Mays) Clark (who died in 1922). With the hopes of earning enough money to buy land rather than sharecrop, his family moved to the nearest mill town,  Columbus, Georgia . Counter to his mother's wishes for him to become a farmer, Clarke left Georgia in 1933 by freight train and went to  Harlem, New York  as part of the  Great Migration  of rural blacks out of the South to northern cities. There he pursued scholarship and activism. He renamed himself as John Henrik (after rebel Norwegian  playwright   Henrik Ibsen ) and added an ...

WITH EACH NEW SHIPMENT OF SLAVES, THERE WOULD HAVE TO BE CAUTION. WHY? BECAUSE THE NEW SLAVES WOULD BE LESS LIKELY TO ACCEPT SERVITUDE. THEREFORE, A CONSTANT DUMBING DOWN WOULD HAVE TO BE IN PLACE. OR ELSE, YOU COULD END UP WITH WHAT THEY HAD IN HAITI, WHERE THEY REALIZED IT WAS THE NEW SLAVES THAT WERE THE MOST THREAT FOR REVOLT AFTER SEVERAL REVOLTS ENSUED WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF NEWLY CAPTURED SLAVES. The most oppressive limits on slave education were a reaction to Nat Tu rner's Revolt in Southampton County, Virginia during the summer of 1831. This event not only caused shock waves across the slave holding South, but it had a particularly far-reaching impact on education over the next three decades. The fears of slave insurrections and the spread of abolitionist materials and ideology led to radical restrictions on gatherings, travel, and—of course—literacy. The ignorance of the slaves was considered necessary to the security of the slaveholders (Albanese 1976). Not only...

Paul Robeson was a famous African-American athlete, singer, actor, and advocate for the civil rights of people around the world. He rose to prominence in a time when segregation was legal in the United States, and Black people were being lynched by racist mobs, especially in the South. Born on April 9, 1898 in Princeton, New Jersey, Paul Robeson was the youngest of five children. His father was a runaway slave who went on to graduate from Lincoln University, and his mother came from an abolitionist Quaker family. Robeson's family knew both hardship and the determination to rise above it. His own life was no less challenging. In 1915, Paul Robeson won a four-year academic scholarship to Rutgers University. Despite violence and racism from teammates, he won 15 varsity letters in sports (baseball, basketball, track) and was twice named to the All-American Football Team. He received the Phi Beta Kappa key in his junior year, belonged to the Cap & Skull Honor Society, and gradu...
