Why An African History Month

Why, An African History Month?

The motherland's histories are complex with over 2000 cultures, constituting, different languages, traditions and customs and they all have their own stories to tell. It would be mutually beneficial to have our history to be accessible in one historical umbrella. Each month would address a different topic. This will plant the seeds of knowledge to be harvest for the future generations. Most importantly, "African History Month" would serve as a catalyst to correct the gross misconceptions, omission and distortions of it's history.of African people globally.

The word African specifically relates to the indigenous people of the African continent and their descents in the Diaspora ( Caribbean , Americas , Arabia , etc). The race-nationality model such as that currently employed by African-American, African-Brazilian and African-Caribbean communities more accurately describes the identity whilst fully articulating the history and geopolitical reality

The miscellaneous usage of the label 'Black' within this site reflects its contemporary use as a means to denote a specific
sociocultural and political context. It is recognized as a colloquial term that was fashioned as a reactionary concept to derogatory racial epithets in the 1960's. It is offensive when used as a racial classification code word to denote African people. Other such denigrating terminology when made in reference to African culture, heritage or identity are 'Tribe', 'Sub-Saharan Africa', or 'black Africa '.

Fidel Castro;s Defied the Odds

Despite enormous difficulties arising from a US economic blockade, Cuba under Castro made tremendous strides forward in education, medicine, science, sport, international exchange relations and sustainable development. The Cuban revolution served as a promising source of hope not only to the impoverished people of Latin America but also to the rest of the Tricontinental World - the exploited and colonized populations of Latin America, Asia and Africa.

  1. Fidel Castro was a murderer. Stop romanticizing a man who imprisoned and murdered anyone who spoke against his crimes. He was a liar a cheater and a thief. Shame in you guys for this piece of shit out to be a hero. Yes he did alot of Africa. Even forced Cubans to go and fight in the African jungles. But every good deed was only to cover the rotten deeds done in hia own country of Cuba.

  2. Castro was a murderer, a liar and a thief. A man who would imprison and assasinate anyone who spoke out about his crimes. An egostistical maniac. There are many people who are still locked up till this days since the 60s just for disagreeing with the regime. Shame on you for making this murdering thief out to be some sort of hero. Any Cuban that is in America will tell you Castro was a piece of shit human being. The ones on the island have no choice but to speak kindly of him because if they dont they will end up being put under investigation and their life will become constantly ruined and surveiled. His own country is starving. There is no food. They pay for shit. I think a surgeon doctor makes about 40 to 50 US dollars in pesos a month. And thats on the very high end of salaries. If you have all day I can tell you about all the atrocities that man commited. Yes he did alot of good for Africa. He even forced Cubans to go fight in the African jungles. Every good deed he did for Africa and Russia was only to hide all the evil he was commiting in his own country. Again if you want to find out some more about the crimes he would commit just hit my email up ant010389@gmail.com
