The Black Man Must Wake Up, Part 1 - Dr. Yosef Ben Jochannan
Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5,
‘Within the context of my education, or i would prefer to call it the source of my indoctrination. My training which started in Ethiopia east Africa, and continued in Brazil, puerto rico, England and Spain. In all of these places i had been I never once received an education in the history of African people and yet i had thought i had educated myself down through those periods of time. It is because of that self education in those things which meant most to me as a African person that i decided that at no time would not i stand still in these halls of indoctrination and not rebel without the necessary documentation of the lies that have been taught in these halls’. A very controversial lecture, however it makes you question alot of things.

“It’s crazy; in the States people think the black-power movement drew inspiration from Africa. All these Americans come over here looking for awareness. They don’t realize they’re the ones who’ve got it over there. Why, we were even ashamed to go around in national dress until we saw pictures of blacks wearing dashikis on 125th Street.”
— - Fela Kuti (via aye-eye)
