Careful analytics of the Blackberry, Ipaq, I-phone, Palm, and Treo devices signal the scurry of activity day after day after long day.  Swollen with conference calls, cold calls, meetings, presentations, seminars, trainings, and travel to and fro...we rise early and retire later.  Each day is filled with red lines of over lapping appointments and to do items that warrant our conviction and sincerity.

It is quite clear that African people in America continue to be mis-educated. This problem is discussed in a variety of ways in conversations everyday in our communities throughout America.

From time to time we should consult the wisdom of those who have addressed this problem whom we may have forgotten. One such person who addressed this problem is the Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey, when he presented his formula for learning in his courses on African Philosophy in the 1930s. I think it is only appropriate to review Mr. Garvey's formula for learning as we continue to build the Reparations Movement and seek specific guideposts to our development as a people.   

I hear that you're angry. Me too. But it appears our outrage is directed at decidedly different targets.

I, for one, am angry at the three young white men in your town who, last year, hung nooses from a tree after a black student dared sit under it, thereby touching off several months of racial tension. And I'm mad at their parents for whatever it is they taught their kids - or failed to teach them - that would allow their children to believe such a thing appropriate.

But it is not these persons who have elicited your anger.
