Of course the answer was...... "Over several months and during two visits to Miller's classroom, students told USA TODAY the course broadens their knowledge and instills hope." What else could you want for students ???????? And no such thing as too woke...the point of education is to bring awareness and wake up minds and hearts. #Hope

Embracing our roots begins with longing for our history. W.E.B. Du Bois reminds us that to learn our true identity, we have to learn the history by ourselves. Birthright AFRICA believes in the power of diving into the rich tapestry of African American heritage, uncovering stories that shape our present and empower our future. ?? #bhm #blackhistorymonth #KnowYourHistory #DiscoverRoots #UncoverGreatness #africa #webdubois #ghana

WE DID IT! Our End-of-Year Crowdfunding Campaign with the Jrue and Lauren Holiday Fund has officially concluded, and what a journey it’s been! As we celebrate Black History Month, we extend our deepest gratitude to the 160+ backers who supported our goal to scale the Birthright AFRICA mission to send more young Black people to Africa for their transformative birthright experience for free!! Thanks to your steadfast support and the JLH Fund match, we raised an incredible $114,562, reaching over 90% of the goal! This is more than a campaign; it’s a movement towards unity, pride, and connection to our roots. Thank you for being a part of this historic journey! ???? #BlackHistoryMonth #BirthrightAFRICA #JourneyHome #bhm #africa #diaspora

The UK is loaning some of Ghana’s “crown jewels” back home, 150 years after looting them from the court of the Asante king. The items to be loaned, most of which were taken during 19th-Century wars between the British and the Asante, include a sword of state and gold badges worn by officials charged with cleansing the soul of the king. The Asante gold artefacts are the ultimate symbol of the Asante royal government and are believed to be invested with the spirits of former Asante kings. A special adviser to Ghana’s culture minister told the BBC, “They’re not just objects, they have spiritual importance as well. They are part of the soul of the nation. It’s pieces of ourselves returning.” Sources: @bbc @bbcafrica
