BIA-AMERICAN HISTORY LESSON FOR TODAY ARE A FEW EXAMPLES OF WHY OUR ORAL HISTORY AND ELDERS ARE SO RESPECTED

"I" SHALL REMIND YOU OF A FEW TINGS I SHARED WITH YOU ON THE SITE A FEW YEARS BACK TIS ABOUT MANDELA BEING PUT INPRISON...
OUR HEAD OF THEBLACK STUDY DEPT. WAS ALSO A PROFESOR IN SOME OF OUR CLASS AT UCD...

IN ORDER TO GET US TO RECOGNIZE SOME OF THE THINGS ABOUT SOUTH AFRICA WHEN WE SAW SOUTH ARICA ON THE NEWS WAS TO NOTICE WHEN THEY SHOWED WORKERS THERE WE ALWAYS SAW RUNDOWN TOWNS AND ONLY MEN IN THESE WORK TOWNS...TIS IS BECAUSE BLACK SOUTH AFRICANS COULD NOT LIVE WITH THEIR FAMILYS AND BEABLE TO W-O-R-K IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY...IF YOU COULD SHOW YOUR ID WHEN ASKED AND YOU COULD BE ASKED ANY TIME OR ANY PLACE YOULIVED AND YOUR ID HAD BETTER NOT HAVE SOUTH AFRICAN ON IT IF YOU HAD A JOB AND LIVED WITH YOUR FAMILY OR YOU WERE IN BIG TROUBLE...

EVNE DR. SEWART DID NOT KNOW ABOUT IT UNTIL HE WENT ON A TRIP TO SOUTH AFRICA AND WENT TO SHOP IN AN EXPENSIVE STORE IN AMALL THERE..HE HAD TO SHOW HE WAS AN AMERICAN OR THEY WOULD NOT HAVE ALLOWED HIM TO EVEN SOP IN THAT MALL!!!...

NOW AS I TOLD YOU DR. STEWARD WAS A DEAN AT SANFRANCISCO STATE UNTIL ONE DAY THE FBI CAME AS HE WAS GIVING A LECTURE TO HIS CLASS, PUT A GUN TO HIS HEAD AND TOLD HIM THAT HE HAD BETTER SHOW THEM EVER BLACK PANTHER IN HIS CLASS...THEY WERE AS SHOCKED AS HE WAS WHEN HE TOLD THEM TO SHOOT OR GET THE HELL AWAY FORM HIM...

THEN HE GAVE HIS DEAN JOB TO ANGELA Y. DAVIS, RETURN TO COLLEGE AS AN ANTHROPOLOGY MAJOR, HE SAID HE HAD TO GO FIND OUT FOR HIS OWNSELF WHY THES YOUTH WERE SO DEDICATED TO GETING THEIR OWN HISTORY TAUGHT CORRECTLY...
I SHALL TELL YOU MORE OF WHAT I HAVE ALREADY TOLD YOU ABOUT THIS GREAT MAN...I DO BELIEVE HIS HERO WAS MARCUS GARVEY.LOL!!!...

LOV YA A-L-L (SMILE)
