How Cuban Agriculture went from Industrial to Sustainable
How Cuban Agriculture went from Industrial to Sustainable Ambakisye-Okang Dukuzumurenyi 28 Views • 5 years ago

In this Our Changing Climate environmental video essay, I look at the history of Cuban sustainable agriculture and farming. Specifically, I look at why sustainable and organic methods, such as urban farms and market gardens, proliferated in Cuban farming, and what that might mean for farmers markets and local food systems in countries like the United States. Some of the principles of Cuban agriculture could be used to build a system in opposition to our current industrial food and factory farm system.

Honoring Baba Runoko Rashidi
Honoring Baba Runoko Rashidi Kwadwo Danmeara Tòkunbọ̀ Datɛ 234 Views • 5 years ago

Abibitumi honors Baba Runoko Rashidi

⁣
Some of you may not know this, but Baba Runoko Rashidi was a pioneer in online teaching long before it became a “thing”. Baba Runoko had a tremendous influence on the course and direction of Abibitumi in its formative years.

He taught courses such as "Around the World with Runoko Rashidi" (2008), "The Global African Presence" (2010, 2011), "A Tribute to Great Black Women in History" (2011), "Who is the Original Man?" (2012), "The Ancient African Diaspora/The Modern African Diaspora Lectures" (2012) and many more!

Because of the very special relationship he had with us at Abibitumi during our formative years, we think that it is only right to honor this legend, this giant in the best way possible.

It is in this spirit that we will honor the life's work and dedication of Baba Runoko Rashidi, who dedicated his very life to the work of connecting the Afrikan=Black family.






Who was Baba Runoko Rashidi?
Baba Runoko Rashidi described himself as a scholar, historian, author and a lecturer. Born in 1954, the historian was about 67 years old when he passed away.



He held frequent seminars about African History, Pan-Africanism, and focused his work specifically on the global African presence, which details the movement of Africans outside Africa before and after enslavement.



Baba Runoko Rashidi was also a highly successful author, having published collections of essays, as well as books about Black culture and Black history. He was a prolific academic writer, publishing 22 books across his career.



These include The Black Image In Antiquity, Black Star: The African Presence In Early Europe, as well as Uncovering The African Past.

Baba Runoko Rashidi had travelled across the world, visiting 124 countries, as well as lecturing and teaching in 67 of them. In 2005 he received an Honorary Doctorate from the Amen-Ra Theological Seminary in LA.

Recently he had been researching African artefacts, and African cultural presence in museums around the world. He had also been part of the curatorial and academic board of the Pan-African Heritage Museum since 2020.

RBG-DR. AMOS WILSON  ON  BLACK ECONOMICS 1 OF 2
RBG-DR. AMOS WILSON ON BLACK ECONOMICS 1 OF 2 Kwadwo Danmeara Tòkunbọ̀ Datɛ 20 Views • 7 years ago

Dr. Amos N. Wilson (1941 - 1995) Former Social Caseworker, Psychological Counselor, Supervising Probation Officer, Training Administrator in the New York City Department of Juvenile Justice, Assistant Professor of Psychology at the City University of New York, Master Teacher, Organizer, and Author The late, Honorable Dr. Wilson was born in Hattiesburg, Mississippi in 1941. Familiarly referred to as Brother Amos, he provided the average person with an acute analysis of where we are and the things that affect us. He served as a council to energize our race and those in positions of influence as to how to carry out their leadership responsibilities. Dr. Wilson's activities transcended academia into the fields of business, owning and operating various enterprises in the greater New York area. "When we get into social amnesia - into forgetting our history - we also forget or misinterpret the history and motives of others as well as our motives. The way to learn of our own creation, how we came to be what we are, is getting to know ourselves. It is through getting to know the self intimately that we get to know the forces that shaped us as a self. Therefore knowing the self becomes a knowledge of the world. A deep study of Black History is the most profound way to learn about the psychology of Europeans and to understand the psychology that flows from their history. If we don't know ourselves, not only are we a puzzle to ourselves; other people are also a puzzle to us as well. We assume the wrong identity and identify ourselves with our enemies. If we don't know who we are then we are whomever somebody tells us we are."
(The Falsification of Afrikan Consciousness," Afrikan World InfoSystems, New York 1993, p. 38)

DO IT FOR SELF - DIY IN AFRICA
DO IT FOR SELF - DIY IN AFRICA Blaxit 34 Views • 6 years ago

Bla Xit Family, thank you for joining the channel to watch another episode of Bla Xit your guide to repatriation to relocate in Africa. Because we are in Lockdown most of our programmes are now based in The Gambia. After seeing recent events unfold in China where gross human rights abuses and criminal activity including physical attacks and abuse and forced removal of our African sisters and brothers from their homes I urged a boycott of all their products and services. When I did this I did not intend to harm existing African businesses that had existing franchises or that sold Chinese products before this plandemic! So one such business that was affected by the boycott was a local shop that I actually shop in! Opps so to reprieve myself and to apologise I have made a video in their shop. I realised the importance of us being able to mine our own metals ourself, smelt them ourself, process and mould them and create them and manufacture them ourselves, distribute and market them ourselves and purchase them ourselves. This Sao family enterprise SAO is based on this premise. They gave me hope for the future, their ambition is to mine, manufacture and sell their own tools in the future. Lets support them, like they said in the video they have to learn how to do it and all aspects of the business to be the best. I really admire them so please give this video a lot of likes and shares and please subscribe if you haven't already. We are aiming to get to 100,000 subscribers and we can do it if we put our mind to it! Become a Bla Xit Champion and get us lots of subscribers by sharing please?

We want to thank Wode Maya our inspiration for starting us on our way and continuing to support us. Big up all of the Vloggers and Bloggers changing the narrative of Africa.
