TEACHING AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY

TEACHING AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY PROPERLY TRUTHFULLY African American history did not begin in America , it began in Africa, where Africans were the first people on earth , millions of years ago. In Africa, these first people learned basic things like speech, home building, uses of fire, cooking, planting, fishing, hunting, weaving, arrowhead making, bow and arrow making , herding, and all other civilizing skills that were later culturally taught, instilled, in their kindred people, who had migrated out of Africa , to populate the rest of earth in waves millions of years ago. The point of this is to show that "African American" history began in Africa, not in America. That is also how it must be taught , as African, first, American, second. The truth is anathema in a land of lies. But the truth is love to those who love. Proper home training is to instill the truth and to love the truth in oneself and in one's offspring. Teach them the truth at home, as you feed them, love them, discipline them, encourage them, train them, inspire them. Then, no matter what else they are taught (or not taught) at school, church, mosque, temple, outside of the home that can be corrected to assure that they grow up properly.
