Why is this course important?

Schools, colleges, and universities in this country teach an intellectual heritage that begins with the Greeks and Romans, on one hand, and the Jews and Christians on the other. The Greco-Roman tradition forms the basis of the scientific heritage. The Judaeo-Christian tradition forms the basis of the spiritual heritage.

As well as this, mainstream schooling includes the contributions of the Hindus, the Buddhists, the Arabs, and the Chinese to certain aspects of human culture.

But what about the contributions of Africans and African descended people?

Where is any of this reflected in mainstream education?

It isn’t!

For those wanting to learn about African descended people, the experience in the classroom and lecture hall is almost like being present and excluded at the same time!

Nearly all information taught in schools and colleges ignore the Black cultural heritage.

There are even some ‘old school’ educationalists that claim Black people have no cultural heritage worth teaching!

Consequently, the experience in the classroom and the lecture hall, as far as Black people are concerned, is one of being indoctrinated with somebody else’s culture.

For a number of Black people, this poses a difficult question: Should you forget your cultural heritage and fully embrace another heritage OR should you resist the indoctrination?

WANT TO KNOW MORE?

The program that we are offering, Introducing Black History and African World Studies addresses this question.

I believe that you can learn history, politics studies, sociology and
psychology, economics and personal development, religion, and science and technology without having to IGNORE the cultural achievements and heritage of African and Caribbean people!

Some of you may have heard of the great scholars Cheikh Anta Diop, Yosef Ben-Jochannan, Na’im Akbar and John Henrik Clarke.

Some of the information taught on this course was built on the foundations laid by these pioneers, but the complete programme goes WAY BEYOND the research of these scholars!

In other words, the game has moved on.

Introducing Black History and African World Studies is a 36 session course that addresses the following issues …

• What role did Africa play in the origin of the human race?
• The evolution of ancient Nubia and ancient Egypt … the oldest civilisations in the world.
• The Black civilisations of ancient Asia … Canaan, Arabia Felix, Sumer, Elam and the Indus Valley.

• The great civilisations of early East Africa.
• The European slave trade against Africans.

• Assessing the work and achievements of Garvey, Malcolm, King and the Panthers.
• Is it possible to create an African centred sociology?
• The sociology of the black family.
• The sociology of the black male/female gender war.
• Is it possible to create an African centred psychology?
• Black child developmental psychology.
• Enhancing the black child’s success.
• The challenges faced by the Black community in making money.
• An analysis and critique of Subira’s and Kunjufu’s models of Black economic empowerment.
• Developing an action plan for individual economic empowerment.
• The contributions of Africa and African descended people to science and technology from ancient to modern times.
• Origin and evolution of black music.
• Survey of ancient and medieval African art.
• What did Africa contribute to the origin and evolution of religion?
• The history of Africa and African descended people and Judaism, Christianity, Islam and the other world religions.

Now for the crunch - how much is this life changing course worth?

I want you to be more than just delighted with our course Introducing Black History and African World Studies.

I want it to transform your perspective of self and others like you. I truly believe that the benefits are of such a quality that you can’t put a price on it.

We should be charging £2997 for this course!

This is about the same price that universities would charge! And this is even BEFORE the recent proposed price increases!

No the price is not £2997!

Nor is it £997, although it is definitely a steal at that price!

The complete 30 week programme with all the student notes and handouts is just £250.

As you know, high quality information always costs but this is a modest investment for the information that you will learn.

Do not waste any more time!

Do yourself and your children a favour and register on our Introducing Black History and African World Studies course right now. The most important thing is that you do not miss out simply because you were too late in taking action. We have places for only 30 students.
