New on TikTok: MGEA 2 (1) We are not teaching Black history for our children to find what Fanon calls their generational mission. Frantz Fanon wrote that each generation must discover its mission, fulfill it, or betray it. Black history in schools is North American history. Our children will never study what Steve Biko built in South Africa unless we teach Black history as Pan-African history. Steve Biko founded the Black Consciousness Movement in South Africa. He taught that the most powerful weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed. Our children need to know his name. How do you teach Marcus Garvey in the classroom? You start with his three pillars: the power of the mind, the importance of purpose, and the strength of perseverance. How do you connect Black history to African and Caribbean history? You build a Pan-African curriculum that includes figures from across the diaspora. How do you build a Pan-African curriculum from scratch? That is what The Garvey Blueprint does. Seventy-five Pan-African figures. Three years. Culturally responsive teaching grounded in Marcus Garvey's philosophy of mental emancipation. This Thursday, February 19, 7 PM EST at the Marcus Garvey Education Academy, founded by Dr. Julius Garvey. Register at thegarveyclassroom.com.
