AYA high school students need your help!

Like Zora Neale Hurston, they are remembering family and reconnecting us to our culture. They are also "healing broken stories" that diminish and distort our family power. They're not just talking Sankofa, they're doing it - with their families!

Please donate to our student's sojourn to present their work from AYA's Family-Lore Project at the professional CAAR conference in collaboration with the Zora Festival in Orlando and historic Eatonville, Florida on Jan. 30th!

Donate Here: https://www.gofundme.com/zorafest…

Any amount will help them continue to see the benefits of attending an Afrikan-Centered school and continue to share our model with the world. Please show them the way by donating, sharing and challenging your friends to match it.

AYA has long been in the vineyard, help us expand.

I don't have this discussion much anymore. Dr. Yosef Ben Jochannan settled it for me 40 + years ago, and I've not looked back since. (Dr. Ben's link at the end of this post.) In fact, I've moved forward. But this post isn't about me or religion, per se, and it's certainly not about getting you to change your faith. It's more about "racial scripting" than scripture. It's about religion as a tool for white supremacy and the domination of our people - African people. It's about our believing that God's loves for us (and God's presence in us) is not dependent on us bowing to or ignoring images of white Jesus/God/angels. It's about us caring about the psycholo...

Arkansas town train school officials to carry concealed guns

By Andrew DeMillo The Associated Press Cheyne Dougan, assistant principal at Clarksville High School in Clarksville, Ark., is one of 20 Clarksville School District staff members who are training to be armed security guards on campus.( Photos by Danny Johnston, The Associated Press ) CLARKSVILLE, Ark. — As Cheyne Dougan rounded the corner at Clarksville High School, he saw three students on the floor moaning and crying. In a split second, two more ran out of a nearby classroom. "He's got a gun," one of them shouted as Dougan approached with his pistol drawn. Inside, he found one student holding another at gunpoint. Dougan aimed and fired three rounds at the gunman. Preparing for such scenarios has become common for police after a school shooting in Connecticut in December left 20 children and six teachers dead. But Dougan is no policeman. He's the assistant principal of this school in Arkansas, and when classes resume in August, he will walk the halls with a...
