Marvelous Africa

“There comes a time when humanity is called to shift to a new level of consciousness . . . that time is now.”
Wangari Maathai

Welcome to the fall session of our online programming.

Our theme for this year is “Sankofa Journey to Kujichagulia”.

In this block of classes we will be exploring in greater detail “Unit 2” of the book Classical Africa - by Dr. Molefi Kete Asante.

Reflections:

The Kwanzaa principle of Kujichagulia (Self Determination) requires us to believe that we can use the lesson of our rich past, to create better outcomes for our present and future generations.

" The ancient African country of Egypt laid the foundation for much of modern civilization. Among its contributions are medicine, the calendar, geometry, and art. No nation in antiquity made as many early contributions to human knowledge as ancient Egypt. its reputation is established in medicine, mathematics, architecture, religion, and literature"
