Woodson Welcome to another powerful edition of Rise Up! International, your daily source for revolutionary news and views on Black Power Media. Today, hosts Ikemba Ojore and Kalonji Changa dive deep into the legacy of the "Father of Black History," Dr. Carter G. Woodson. We aren't just celebrating a month; we are discussing the systematic Liberation of Black History and its role in the ongoing struggle for self-determination. To help us unpack the state of Black education and the importance of reclaiming our narrative, we are joined by two powerhouse educators from Philadelphia: Sharif El-Mekki: Founder of the Center for Black Educator Development. Ismael Jimenez: Director of Africana Studies for the School District of Philadelphia. Together, we explore how Woodson’s 1933 masterpiece, The Mis-Education of the Negro, remains a blueprint for understanding modern educational systems and why the liberation of our history is a prerequisite for the liberation of our people. 🎙️ In This Episode: The Woodson Legacy: Why Dr. Carter G. Woodson created Negro History Week and his vision for year-round study. Education vs. Schooling: Breaking down the "mis-education" cycle in the 21st century. The Philly Model: How local educators are fighting to keep Africana Studies at the forefront of the curriculum. Revolutionary Pedagogy: How to teach Black history as a tool for resistance, not just a collection of dates. #BlackPowerMedia #CarterGWoodson #BlackHistory #Liberation #SharifElMekki #IsmaelJimenez #MisEducation #BlackEducation #RiseUpInternational Wed, 08 Apr 2026 15:32:24 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://tankie.tube https://tankie.tube/lazy-static/avatars/3ba3ff73-a8b6-49c9-add8-9653ef090c7f.webp https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/8a3a44d1-b3d4-4fae-b767-00af4731135f All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://tankie.tube/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
