Black History Weekend
Black History Weekend
If I had to recommend two venues on the East Coast where Black adults and children could get a crash course on Black history, it would be the National Great Blacks in Wax Museum in Baltimore and Egypt on the Potomac in Washington, DC. The museum in Baltimore can be referred to as a œres ipsa loquitor.
In addition to the visit to the museum, Freedom Retreat will spend some time at the Baltimore Harbor. Baltimore will be the first leg of the trek and we will visit the harbor after we visit the museum. This will take place on Saturday, October 6.
Anthony Browder calls Egypt on the Potomac a field trip. Browder will board the bus in Washington, DC on Sunday. From this platform, he will decode symbols, discuss the influence of masonry, and show [participants] America’s secret acknowledgment of ancient Africa’s contributions to civilization.
Freemasonry has its foundation in Africa. Later, Europeans not only hijacked the principles of freemasonry but also sought to emulate Egypt. The urban planning, temple orientation and architecture, etc. of the nation’s capital is designed to recreate the essence of Ancient Egypt.
Black children must be able to identify those African contributions to civilization exhibited in the nation’s capital. The legacies of our ancestors beam from buildings and monuments all around Washington, DC. The future nation’s capital had to be located on a river the Potomac River. This story is not taught in public school. It would be a benefit to Black children and a detriment to white children.
The Field Trip in the District of Columbia will Discuss the Following:
The True meaning of the Washington Monument.
The Egyptian Origins of Architecture and Masonry.
The Spiritual and Astronomical Significance of 16th Street.
The Sacred Geometry and Symbolism in Meridian Hill Park.
The Masonic Influences on the Design of Washington, DC.
The Untold Contributions of Benjamin Banneker
The African Symbolism on the Library of Congress
These sites will be visited or discussed:
Meridian Hill Park
The Scottish Rite Temple
The House of the Temple
Lafayette Park
The White House
The Lincoln Memorial
Arlington Cemetery
The Washington Monument
L’Enfant Plaza and Banneker Circle
The Library of Congress
The Capitol
The IKG Cultural Resource Center
The bus will leave from the Slave Theater (Fulton and Bedford) in Brooklyn, on Saturday, October 6 at 8:00 a.m. The departure time is a must. We lack the ability to turn back the hand of time. The bus trip will end in Brooklyn Sunday evening.
We will be staying in a well-appointed hotel in Washington, DC with free breakfast buffet on Sunday morning. Admission fees and field trip costs plus transportation are included in the package. The cost for each child is Seventy-five Dollars and the cost for each adult is Two Hundred Dollars.

If you are going to be at the harbor, you should try and stop by the Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History & Culture (http://www.africanamericanculture.org/). I am not sure if you have time, but there is a great exhibition called At Freedom's Door: Challenging Slavery in Maryland (http://digital.mica.edu/exhibition/).
I hope that you have a wonderful and productive trip to Maryland.
Hotep,
