People, Problems, and Possibilities You’ve Probably Never Learned About During February
147 Reproducible Debate, Problem, and Biography-Based Social Studies Lessons
The mis-education of Black History Month has presented to African-American students a very shallow legacy of Black competence, particularly when it comes to modern-day, currently relevant examples of this legacy. Black History Month should introduce Black students to Black people who have changed and are currently changing the world without intentionally or unintentionally limiting the number and variety of who these people are. Most of who we are exposed to either entertainers, people who were the first to integrate a previously all-white career field, or people who are somehow related to the Civil Rights Movement. The root of the problem is that as it was supposed to evolve, Black History Month was either accidentally or intentionally underdeveloped, which has thwarted its capacity to re-educate African-Americans, instead pacifying us and somehow augmenting our self-alienation via redundant, shallow, and non-revolutionary lessons. We can’t fault Carter G. Woodson for this, nor was finding fault ever our objective. Nevertheless, it is arguable that something in its design prevented its proper development by not re-educating those who followed Woodson enough to make sure his concept was properly cultivate.
Just like the mis-education described by Woodson, Black History Month continues to teach Black people “to follow the line of least resistance rather than battle against odds for what real history has shown to be the right course. A mind that remains in the present atmosphere never undergoes sufficient development to experience what is commonly known as thinking. No Negro thus submerged in the ghetto, then, will have a clear conception of the present status of the race or sufficient foresight to plan for the future; and he drifts so far toward compromise that he loses moral courage. The education of the Negro, then, becomes a perfect device for control from without.” Although not commonly recognized, Marcus Garvey was actually the first acknowledged African in America to propose the extracurricular teaching of Black history, but the goal of his “Black history month” was nationalism. Black nationalism and nationalists are consistently underemphasized, demonized via a distorted depiction of their legacy to discourage any popular revisiting of that legacy (e.g., Malcolm X), or not mentioned at all during Black history month. Moreover, the international history of Black armed resistance to the establishment or perpetuation of White/European supremacy is virtually excluded from Black History Month, refusing any or significant mention of militant heroes like Queen Nanny, Yaa Asantewa, Dedan Kimathi, and Amilcar Cabral.
The Miseducation of Black History Month eBook Joseph Gibson
This is a CD-ROM that is printable. It contains lessons, debate topics and discussion topics on black achievers that are not as well known and usually not taught about during black history month. This is a wonderful resource. The CD-ROM contains biographies on many achievers of African descent to include: Queen Nanny of the Jamaican Maroons. The African programmer that helped increase the processing speeds of computers. It has Wangari Maathi of the Green Belt Movement that has planted millions of trees in Kenya to fight deforestation. She is also the first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Many more less known people of African descent that made tremendous contributions to the world. This CD-ROM is meant to be printed as part of classroom curriculum or activities. I recommend this for anyone who wants to expand from the usual Black figures taught during Black History Month. You will get figures that achieved in many different areas, like the Black Panthers who opened free breakfast programs, health clinics, and fought police brutality. Not just civil rights era achievements, not to negate those achievements in any way. You won't be disappointed. I highly recommend this resource. Great for homeschoolers too. Whether you are African-centered and not.Product details
