I have at least 2 books by Browder. I have only read excerpts from his books. His studies have been about ancient KMT.

As far as the local African American history, you can find that just about at all the Black websites. However, for the Pan Afrikanist information, you may have a tough time.

I know of a P3A site its URL is:
http://aznet.net/~firyali/pa3cover.htm

Check it out... It has an extensive book list...

A good book to start off with is by Ivan Van Sertima, "Afrikan Woman of Antiquity". Another book that some people don't like is "Black Athena". Of course an eye opening book is Dr. Francis Cress Welsing's "The Isis Papers". A very good book is edited by Ivan Van Sertima, which is "Blacks in the Sciences". There are many more. Go to the URL as above.

Ok, I have a question. I was watching the movie Foolish last night, and something Eddie said has me thinking and wondering if it is true.

He was telling a joke about how hurricanes are killing so many white people. He said that they all start at the southern most tip of Africa, where most slave ships left from. He said that the hurricanes follow the same path as slaveships did in traveling over here, and that the hurricanes now hit in the same places where slave ships landed, or whatever. Could there be some truth to this?? This is very interesting to me. Could our ancestors' spirits be bringing the wrath all like that? Things that make you go hmmmmm....

I'll be back later with my black history fact of the day.

Today in Black History:

Alice Walker, the woman who sparked the world with her phenomenal book [b]THE COLOR PURPLE[/b, was born in 1944.

Tomorrow in Black History:
This day is the day that the world lost the man who made Kunta Kinte known all over the world. Alex Haley made his story OUR STORY.

Black is a mystery, and part of my history. Black is bold and worth a hell of a lot more than gold.

I've heard this before as well. If you think about where these tornadoes commonly hit, THE SOUTH, there could be some truth to this theory.

Well, most scientists would say that's crazy. However, a person of an Afrikan Centered perspective would say what is thrown out into the universe will come back through various forms.

Some traditional West African countries believed that one spiritually consecrates an action by blood. In fact the Vouduon, Yoruban (sp.) and Santa Rienas (sp.) still practice these ceremonies. The Bantus believed that once you call upon the 7 Afrikan Powers, one of them being that of the "storm", thru a blood baptism, it will follow your path to answer your call with destruction. That's why you are always careful as to what you call out from the universe...

The word "hurricane" is derived from the Carribe (or sometimes creole) tribe god, "Hurricano". So apparently, these severe weather disturbances occured before the Afrikan MAAFA (or the slave holocaust).

So the idea that hurricanes are the repercussions of non-payment or non-appeasement of Afrikan gods, may possibly lie in where these storms land--not the fact that they form because it may be seen from an Afrikan Centered perspective as a "necessary evil"...

I began a tribute to black history on blackplanet.com under Ms_Divyne, but due to a tight schedule, it came to a standstill. Anyway, I've also read some opinions on Amenhotep IV. It seems that he introduced monotheism in Egypt, worshipping Aten, the sun disc god. He changed his name to Akhenaten and established the cult of Aten.

Here's a little known fact: Egypt had a female pharoah, Queen Hatshepsut. Eqypt was very prosperous during her reign. After her death and her stepson came into reign, he had her name removed from everything and all of her images smashed.

Hatshepset was considered as one of the Candices...

Neith is another one along with Tyre (sp.)--Ivan Van Sertima's "Black Women of Antiquity".

I heard that Akhenatan was probably the Biblical "Moses" since the physical locations of his temples were all destroyed after his reign. Based on carbon dating, the time frame in which the all the "signs" from Heaven occured a little bit after Aten Ra allegedly reappeared teaching the monotheistic concept to the Kemetics...]

Also, in some ancient writings Akhenatan is referred to as "The Mose."
