SUMMARY:Humanitas - The Africana Ethical Society Program
DESCRIPTION:Remembering the Ancestors:  Music selection \nSynopsis of Previous Meeting: Zay \nReading Corner: Book: Decolonizing African Religions: A Short History of African Religions in Western Scholarship by Okot p’Bitek \nPresentation: Civic Engagement 2.0: The Rise of a Troublemaking Generation in Francophone West Africa.  \nPresenter: Professor Soumy Guirou \nThe presentation will examine key movements from the early 2010s in Senegal\, Burkina Faso\, and Mali\, emphasizing the rise of politically oriented youth organizations focused on good governance and social justice through de-territorialized practices.  \nGeneral Discussion: We welcome the exchange of ideas.  Your presence\, thoughts\, and perspectives are of the utmost importance.   \nCharge: If there is no struggle\, there is no progress.  Those who profess to favor freedom and yet deprecate agitation are people who want crops without plowing up the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning.  They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters.  \nThis struggle may be a moral one\, or it may be a physical one\, and it may be both moral and physical\, but it must be a struggle.  Power concedes nothing without demand.  It never did and it never will. —Frederick Douglass \nMusic Selection: \nHarambee: \nThe most powerful weapon in the hands of the oppressors is the mind of the oppressed—S. Biko. \nThe problem of holding the [African\, Black person] down\, therefore\, is easily solved. When you control a man[woman’s] thinking you do not have to worry about his/[her] actions.  You do not have to tell him[her] not to stand here or go yonder.  He[she] will find his[her] “proper place” and will stay in it…The same educational process which inspires and stimulates the oppressor with the thought that he[she] is everything and has accomplished everything worthwhile\, depresses and crushes at the same time the spark of genius in the [African\, Black person] by making him[her] feel that his[her] race does not amount to much and never will measure up to the standards of other peoples. Carter G. Woodson \nThere can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way it treats its children—N. Mandela \nI believe unconditionally in the ability of people to respond when they are told the truth.  We need to be taught to study rather than believe\, to inquire rather than affirm. —Septima Poinsette Clark \nScholarship—the formal production\, identification\, and organization of what we call “knowledge”—is inevitably political—Kimberly Crenshaw \n  \nHUMANITAS: The Africana Ethical Society is a naturalistic organization committed to deconstructing metaphysical and pseudo-scientific misconceptions regarding the human experience and affirming that humanistic ethical values can be found in Africana traditions and the struggles of Africana peoples. \n  \nJ Everet Green is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. \neveret@verizon.net \nTopic: Civic Engagement 2.0: The Rise of a Troublemaking Generation in Francophone West Africa \nTime: Dec 14\, 2024 03:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) \nJoin Zoom Meeting \nhttps://mercy.zoom.us/j/96084713875?pwd=aZzbKDbPCuz82jyarMzT8LcHr3yBZA.1 \nMeeting ID: 960 8471 3875 \nPasscode: 183593
