Political Consciousness Activities
Within the next three weeks, there will be educational activities and publications offered to improve your political consciousness. These activities and publications will communicate the life of Kwame Ture, author of Black Power, who before making his transition, asserted that Blacks needed a political education to effectively organize and benefit from an organization.
Malcolm X left us with these words: Of all the disciplines, history is best qualified to reward our research. Before Malcolm X, Dr. Carter G. Woodson observed that a disconnect between Black people and their history yielded The Mis-Education of the Negro. It was published seventy-five years ago but it is more relevant today than it was in 1933.
This week's column in the New York Amsterdam News is entitled History Endorses Barack Obama. It is a primer on the early history of the Black vote. After the Civil War, there was a contest between Black men and white women. The object was to see who would first reach the polling booth. The current question is whether that race will impact on this year's race for the White House.
To fully appreciate the column, History Endorses Barack Obama, I suggest that you employ the following publications as study aids since a lay person may have difficulty appreciating the legal and political concepts:
a. U.S. Constitution
b. Blacks Law Dictionary
c. Political dictionary
d. Almanac
The following venues will also offer lectures on issues elevating the political consciousness of persons of African ancestry:

What do you think of having a 10year celebration/ anniversary of Prof Clarke? Plus Dr.Claude brings out that no Black/African Lawyer will not take
up the case of the Federalist Papers and how the majority is supposed to protect the minority? What do you think of that? Further shouldn't Black Americans bring up the 1865/66 civil rights bill supported by senator Thadeus Stevens? Further what about the treaties the Indians signed with U.S. to pay reparations to Black Folk what do you think of that?
