AfriPeople ~ African People All Over the World
Wherever there are Africans the African culture dominates even where the
African people themselves are oppressed. As Africans around the world we must
make it one of our goals for the 21st century to reverse the unjust situation
where everyone benefits from our creative energies except us.
The following links explore the contributions we as Africans have made to the
world throughout history and in contemporary times. One of the questions people
are bound to ask is why is it necessary to note that the people who made these
contributions are Black. Aren't we all humans? Let me ask this question: why
is it necessary to note that the teenagers who robbed a liquor store were
Black? Why is it necessary to note that the crowd of people who turned
violent was Black? Why is color such vital information when a crime has been
committed
but when good deeds are done suddenly we're all just humans. In order to see
achievement as something they can and should aspire to our children must be
exposed to achievers they can identify with. It is with this in mind that I
present the following areas of great African achievements.
