400 yes of separation,it’s about time for is to come together,when we come together we are unstoppable 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
That's right you see the prophesy coming true
NO, JUST NO
Qq poo
Finally a puzzle is being solved. Sisters and brothers uniting. One Africa for all Africans.
There are already many great universities in Africa like University of Ghana at Legon where I spent a summer while I was at Howard. HSBCUs should just expand abroad programs to Africa instead of Europe and Asia. Studying in African universities would have a lot of academic benefits for black American students and African students as an exchange but they are not coming to save African universities.
it's another step towards unity for us all to be singing from the same hymn sheet
madjoabutterfly Why are they supposed to save African universities?
@ stop being silly. We need each other. Are you a White troll trying to create division?
@ you are not an african, so stop pretending to be, what are you afraid of, the millions of dollars that Africans spend sending their children to colleges in Europe will end.
I hope those hbcu’s aren’t bringing those GREEK fraternities with them smh. Plus they are all named after slave owners
I am a proud Morgan State Alumni. Yaaaay!!!
I taught classes at Morgan State before it became a University. Lol. In the early 90'S I believe. I was majoring in education and Coppin at the best educational program so I graduated from there.
@@MI-vn4tp Oh nice! Good to know. Another Morgan Bear in the house. :)
There's so much to learn from each other. There is more that unites us than divides us. Just love this initiative.
This is fantastic! Many Liberians have getting valuable education at Booker Washington Institute in Liberia. This was modeled after what is now called the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama.
Wow I didn't know that that's great
Liberia is the spot they are going to build in first
I love the idea that's finely we United and I hope we never separate again amen
This is amazing through education together the black diaspora and black African we can achieve big thing?
Empowerment for black people world wide.
But the curriculum is Eurocentric. How does that help the African Diaspora? The curriculum has to be African Centered. Let us create our own educational centers to our benefit.
An oppressed people cannot assimilate the culture of the people that oppress them without becoming self oppressing.
The curriculum has to be African Centered. Otherwise we'll just be educating another generation to serve the people that oppress us.
An oppressed people cannot assimilate the world view of the people that oppress them without becoming self oppressing.
@@protectedspirit7692 absolutely correct it must be centred within black curriculum.
It’s about time for Africans to unite
Yes this what we as black people must do. Its long overdue. Every HBCU must have correspondence to every African university.
Endy Thomas most HBCU are white controlled, owned and funded
I never heard of this until now. I realized that I am a special case.
I was caught up with the denial of education for small town black.
I have the same experience everywhere I go around Black People in the diaspora. I'm fully traumatized.
How can there ever be equality with white privilege entitlement in place? I have been asking this question for a long time. I have never received answers.
This is awesome! #blackexcellence ✊🏽
One love family, only knowledge and our wisdom will helps us out of poverty in our segregated communities Globally.
Great, now is the time for Africa to fly and fly and frying like the eagle expected of it , kudos to you all
HBCU presence in Africa is now more needed than before. With the current travel ban on some African countries (especially Nigeria), it will become more difficult for African students to come to America.
This is amazing !!!!!!
This is so amazing! My daughter is a freshmen at an HBCU and I would have loooovvvveeedd for her to attend an HBCU satellite campus in Ghana!! This again is amazing!!!
Good job Black colleges and universities in the United states. God is going to use you to transform the continent to a super power. I salute you all for a job well done. We have to look inward to free Africa and people of Africa descent and transform ourselves.
Best news I have heard this year...forced separation should stop
Africa prepares the land and the African Diaspora provides the necessary development skills to make Africa GREAT AGAIN. What we will bring to the table is priceless.
We the African Diaspora demands that all States of Africa must immediately makes lands available to the stolen children's of Africa, children's of the ancestors.
👍
Thanks for this valuble and informative episode and you can feel the mutual respect among them..I can't wait to visit there next year.
It took this long because of bad leadership bad government n and corruption since Nkrumah passed n that's facts!! #facts
and who chose or sit for this bad leadership to exist...our lack of sense of history will kill us... let us face it fight to correct it rather than "play ostritch"... the leadership may be imposed or otherwise but we maintain them without much a fight... as Fela stated ... fear.... excuses etc...
Greatness have come.
Wonderful! Long overdue!
Yes...This is the right time for Historical Black Colleges and Universities in America to spread and expand Africa because of Africa 60% young population needs to be trained.
Trained?
"Well might this race be referred to as the most docile and tractable people on earth. This merely means that when the oppressors start the large majority of the race in the direction of serving the purpose of their transducers, the task becomes easy in the years following that they have little trouble with the masses thus controlled. " Carter G Woodson
The Miseducation of the Negro.
Is that what you had in mind for training?
@@protectedspirit7692 would you prefer leaving million s of Africa youth in ignorance and unemployment. Maybe you can afford expensive university fees, not everyone can.
@@listenup2882 The point Carter G Woodson was making, is to make sure the education provided to children of the Diaspora is to their benefit. Not the Eurocentric education that will benefit the oppressor for years to come.
I loooove this!!
great conversation keep it up family.
Thank you sweetheart, Thats awesome that what we all African Americans and all continents where they located need to go home Africa get theirs benedictions and if they want to stay its up to each one like me. All lands is open to them (yours) ours out there. May God continued bless Africa.
I think that's a good idea. Invite all African American US colleges and Universities to set shop. That way the African people can have the same quality of education (and American reference books or learning materials) that an American black boy or girl has in USA.
I hope these HBCUs bring STEM field programmes because they are more useful in manufacturing goods that we need to change material conditions Africans live in. Other racial groups have been doing this for a long time, Asian universities have benefited hugely from exchange programms
Africa for all Africans, those that at home and those in the DIASPORA. MARCUS GARVEY SAID IT, AND SO SHALL IT BE, with NO APOLOGY!!!
The Diasporas are ready to come home to build the Africa that we all want. The return of the ARK OF THE COVENANT TO AFRICA..
On point
It's a known fact CIA recruits out of HBCU look at all them black Greeks do the history on them. you be surprised look at all the high position in entertainment and Congress.
They are sending the Black "Gate Keepers" where they, themselves cannot go without suspicion. Operation "Undermining Garvey 2.0". This may be devastating for ordinary "unaffiliated" ADOS and Africans on the continent: the offer of money and prestige will spread like wild fire - the saga of being duped while a select few lines their bank account at the expense of the rest of us will continue. I hope that I am wrong.
(00:34:46) Hotep!
(00:30:57) Beautiful AFRICA!

The host is so happy
Yeah but who is funding them
Good question because the HBCU were founded and finance by white people and some of them were virulently racist and anti black.Most of the alumni’s of these colleges have turned into the American equivalent to our current crop of leaders:subservient,out for self and useless to the overall well being of black people.We have to look at it with caution because it stinks
@@davidfrederick4530 That's not entirely accurate! Not all of them were funded by "white people", Tuskegee was only given $2,000 towards teachers salaries, but they purchased their own land and built the first campus from sweat and labor. You really think it was that easy?🤨
@@davidfrederick4530 Agree.
@@rizza7862 True but still the basic curriculum is Eurocentric not Afrocentric.
@@protectedspirit7692 it's funny how when African American decided to explore their heritage and the motherland all of a sudden , here comes the HBCU's following them, after they've failed them for so long
The anchor does not seem to want to blink...pretty scary
All Leaders or socalled leaders must provide lands abundantly for all Africans of the Diaspora who wants to return to their homeland in Africa.This is non-negotiable!!!
All people learn from this universities is how to speak grammar.
HI KOBINA BOATENG i think DR. K. AGGREY ALSO WENT TO AN HSBCU SCHOOL. PLS FIND MORE INFORMATION ON THAT. I THINK HE GRADUATED FROM LIVINGSTON COLLEGE AT SALISBURY, N.C.
Every thing has its time and The Almighty Allah is in control. Allahu Akbar. Thanks.
We must emphasize on the transfer of Technology......
Nope create your own technology
This Ghanaian guy looks uncannily like a Jamaican. He even talks like a Jamaican.
They say that’s where most Jamaicans came from. Funny thing DNA. It’s a crime that it took us so long to make this connection. Bless up brothers & sisters.
Yes I like that bring the real history and make all black people are family and banned Europe point of view and let afrikan Know where the black race come from group economics with brother and sister around the world
THE EIGHT VOLUMES OF THE GENERAL HISTORY OF AFRICA, WRITTEN BY GREAT AFRICAN HISTORIANS IS NOW ON OFFER BY UNESCO AND THESE VOLUMES CORRECT THE WHITEMAN'S WRONG, MISLEADING HISTORY WRITTEN BY AND TAUGHT BY EUROPEANS.
All African leaders who ignore this request, shall do so at their own PERILS. We were sold to the Europeans by many of our own African Brothers and sisters and they know who they are and must reconcile the sufferings they have put us through for over more than four hundred years. Now we are told to buy land, land that already belongs to our ancestors and to us!!!
Where there is no white supremacy
The email isn't valid
wow
this is great
All Africans should not have to buy 🙄 land in Africa. Why should any Africans have to buy 🤔 land in Africa while the Europeans and other nations owns land they didn't buy. Why must we???
Lol so they want african to pay almost a million dollars in tuition tobget a degree. Just a piece of paper
Lol right
@@Piscean83 are you black american
The black Americans are coming. Are you guys ready? It’s going to be Liberia first. We need to set that record straight
Yolanda Liggins Liberia is in west Africa Einstein. We aren’t going based on a 23 and me test we aren’t idiots like that e go were the money is
Yolanda Liggins you go to Nigeria based on tribes because you are a tribalism fool. Those who are actually going to IMPROVE AFRICA with money and skills (and not just go live with a tribe and be another mouth to feed) go where we are most effective. You’ll make no difference in Nigeria and be back in 6 months living in New Jersey 😭
Yolanda Liggins you just proved my point. I’m going to Africa with Money and business, you are going to hate other Africans. You talk just like those white men you keep mentioning. You went to an “african scientist” who told you that you were a Nigerian and now magically you hare black Americans lol whose the one who is programmed?? Lol 😂 they’ll kick you out in less than 6 months if you go there with all that hate and no results. I already have a contract with Liberia’s power supply sector what are you doing to improve Nigeria??? Nothing you are a bum moving to Africa to drain african resources I bet you have no college education
Yolanda Liggins lol taking about “massa” but your last name liggins 😂
The black Americans are already in Africa!! Living and happy!! And loving it better then America.. And by the way my guy is Nigerian.. So hate Africans.. No I adore them
My concern is not every historically black college and university is 100% black owned and operated anything that's not 100% black owned and operated it's like a virus to any calls that you may have.
So I'm always saying you have to be cautious if it's not one hundred percent black owned and operated it cannot be a part of the process if it is 100% black owned and operated we need to Rally around it and jump in with both feet and help in any way we can
Hopefully someone can 'bridge the gap' between Dr. Jewell's blonde perm and a natural hairstyle. Talk about utter absurdity, that's like me sitting up here with a colonial wig on advocating for African unity.
Dr.Claud Anderson of The Harvest Institute; Economist, author, leader in black economic evolement. Can give answer to why people like Oprah Winfrey, can't be approached in regard to assistance to black people!
You can go to Africa and never leave Chicago
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
No disrespect but this news presenter needs to step it up.
African history must be compulsory but it should br taught from the African/blackman point of view. Get rid off Eurocentric history. Also kiswahili language must be taught in all African and HBCU colleges.
What about law faculty and areas of our metriskt system these have to be change to fit african schools. And languages there need to be african language in the curriculums even history.
Kiswahili is the language of Africans in Africa and diaspora.
I think it's a dumb idea. PERIOD
@lemigod actually I'm African and I think it's dangerous copying and pasting the amerikkkan mindset/fool system (albeit a "black" one) onto a ppl who can do without it.
@@XX-cu4ug Absolutely. Totally agree. I'm just sorry so many of our people don't think things through.
@lemigod ,The K.K.K.is a hate group that is and has been historical trying to divide America.The American Descendants Of Slavery deserves reparations for slavery,Japanese Americans,American Indians,American Eskimos and Jewish Americans have all received reparations for acts that happened in the past that was deem to be wrong.What have black Americans done in the past or what do we do now that you agree with ?
2face_king And yet your political and school system is based from colonizers but when it comes to blacks uniting and building a bridge, you think it’s dumb. You’re dumb.
@@LilliLamour ,exactly.
We are not able to buy land, and then invest. We must be accommodated so that we be able to contribute to the development of our beloved ❤ Continent...
Dude in the yellow, you look scary as fuck 🤣

I REALLY DON'T THINK, OPRAH IS WITH YOU ON THIS, AS A MATTER OF FACT, I DON'T THINK OPRAH CARES TO KNOW WHERE SHE CAME FROM, LIKE MOST AFRICANS DO.
