African Historian - Dr.Cheikh Anta Diop



Dr. Cheikh Anta Diop


This Senegalese scholar, scientist, author and historian has documented 
much of Africa's illustrious past. He has inspired others to take up his
mantle and continue his work.

 I'm not going to try and rewrite anything here since there volumes
dedicated to his work. I think these videos I found on youtube will
pique your interest. 

Hopefully "Black History Month 2009" will give you something to
think about for the rest of the year.

Listervelt Middleton on For The People.

Guerilla Funk Recordings

Guerilla Funk Recordings- positive/conscious hip hop and more.


About Guerrilla Funk

Guerrilla Funk Recordings was born out of necessity. It's a musical organization that was founded by Paris - the politically conscious artist best known for the incendiary song "Bush Killa" - that counters the corporate stranglehold of censorship currently plaguing the entertainment industry. It provides balance in this intolerant climate of suppression of free speech and artistic expression, and serves as a vehicle for those who are unable - not because of lack of talent or relevance - to be heard. There now exists a harmful double-standard at most record labels of endorsing artists who only espouse misogyny, mindless violence, and drug culture references in their music -- while at the same time ignoring artists who strive to enlighten and inspire. It is our pledge at Guerrilla Funk Recordings not to follow suit.


What can I say? It's informative, it's entertaining and
 it's there for you. Go check out all of the material and
visit regularly because it's not static they stay up to date.

Revolution Underground

Revolution Underground by Shani Carter

 Revolution Underground is a short video that
brings to the fore, some concerns and impressions
of young African Canadians and others from the
African diaspora. This production is right on time
and I hope it will be seen far and wide throughout 
the African Diaspora.

 The producer Ms Shani Carter at once a student,
a community activist with many irons in the fire, not
to mention, an artist. I doubt if her legacy will stop there
because she's just beginning.

 Props Shani!
