January 5 is George Washington Carver Day in honor of the brilliant agricultural chemist who died on this day in 19 43. Nicknamed "The Peanut Man" and the "Wizard of Tuskegee," Carver headed the agricultural department of the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama and was one of the most prominent scientist of his day. He was renowned for finding new uses for everyday items. Carver's research in improved farming techniques helped to revolutionize farming in America. He once wrote, "I wanted to know the name of every stone and flower and insect and bird and beast." This is a rarely acknowledged National Holiday to recognize a great African American scientist. In 1935, Carver was specifically appointed to the Department of Agriculture by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to address the southern farming crisis. Among other enactments he advised farmers to use crop rotation. Carver's accomplishments found that since peanuts and sweet potato crops have...

Here is a magnificent account of a past rich in beauty and creativity, but also in tragedy and trauma. Eminent historian Nell Irvin Painter blends a vivid narrative based on the latest research with a wonderful array of artwork by African American artists, works which add a new depth to our understanding of black history.  Painter offers a history written for a new generation of African Americans, stretching from life in Africa before slavery to today’s hip-hop culture. The book describes the staggering number of Africans—over ten million—forcibly transported to the New World, most doomed to brutal servitude in Brazil and the Caribbean. Painter looks at the free black population, numbering close to half a million by 1860 (compared to almost four million slaves), and provides a gripping account of the horrible conditions of slavery itself. The book examines the Civil War, revealing that it only slowly became a war to end slavery, and shows how Reconstruction, after a promisi...

Most people are in shock, or otherwise in confusion, regarding the facts surrounding the recent Proclamations made by the various Mayors, Public servants and offices of Public servants in various Territories of North America.  Surely the research was done prior to making these proclamations as an 'Act of Full Faith and Credit', in accord with  Article IV, Section 1  of the American Constitution FOR the United States of America, and in accord with all true and divine records regarding the human family.      . Those who are the aboriginal and indigenous people -- Moors, which means first navigators as an adjective, and first people as a Noun.  Clearly they are the first to navigate on the waters on the earth plane, after navigating in the waters of their mothers womb, and being cut from her nav-el to become a navigating el upon the earth plane – no one escapes that process, no matter what they may choose to believ...

"Black women are particularly vulnerable to the effects of European standards of beauty, because these standards emphasize skin colors and hair types that exclude many black women, especially those of darker skin. Using a social work lens, this article explores the black woman’s internalization of European beauty standards through family, peers, the media, and society, and the related outcomes of this internalization on self-perception, academic achievement, sexual behavior,  employment, marital status, and mental health. A review of the research indicates that European standards of beauty can have damaging effects on the life trajectories of black women, especially those with dark skin, primarily in the form of internalized self-hatred. Suggestions are made for social work practitioners to address the effects of these internalized European beauty standards among black women through programming and clinical practice."
