Droves of hardworking everyday Black folks took the time and made the necessary sacrifices to make the trip to D.C., carpooling and meeting up for bus rides to make the trip. Scores of notable figures and celebrities in Black Society were also on hand–and were in many ways just regular faces in the crowd as they joined countless others in listening to the message of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. Black business owners set up shop as vendors…and the overall spirit of this weekend’s event was extremely high.

For those who missed out on the opportunity to hear the Minister’s powerful message, it can be found in the video below.

In the case of Melanoid children, many of them are denied the opportunities to access a respectful education that will enable them to become well-rounded and competitive adults in the “real world” (after high school).

These two words most likely best describe the extensive body of work that the Late Dr. John Henrik Clark built over his illustrious career as a Master Teacher, and contemporary of other great Melanoid scholars of his day, such as Dr. Yosef Ben Jochannan, Dr. Amos Wilson, and many others. Today marks 17 years since his transistioning, yet his presence is felt stronger than ever before. What made Dr. John Henrik Clarke stand out from the Melanoid scholars who decide to compromise their integrity in order to have a seat at the table of the dominant society, he–like the aforementioned scholars and others not listed here–stood his ground and challenged white supremacy dead on.

Dr. Clarke, who adhered to the progressive nature of the Pan-Africanist school of thought/movement, was also a good friend of Malcolm X, was once asked if he would be open to debating with a member of the dominant society, Dr. Clarke replied, “I only debate my equals, all others I teach”. ‘Nuff said.

Enjoy some of the following video clips of Dr. Clarke’s lectures, and be sure to apply the nuggets of knowledge and information that he and other great Melanoid minds disseminated for us many years ago.
