Akala, the British rapper/activist was schooled on black history and black empowerment at a community/neighborhood program for the black kids in his area. Things the school wouldn't touch. I would love to see that all over the country in black areas.
I remember learning some stuff for the first time. I was angry, excited, and a few other emotions all at once. I recall hearing of the Tulsa massacre. I was both extremely angry and extremely proud.
Same with many stories in and out America. I considered ALL of it MY story. If they were black people suffering, winning against the odds, in history, present, whatever, it was MY people. Unfortunately, that feeling was almost always in America only, a few here and there but by and large, it was only some of us who lived in America who felt like that. Others, were that way about their own stories, lineage and was not as proud or willing to acknowledge others. Sad. But it is what it is, all I can do, all we can do, is vibe with like minded, on code that's left.
