  • Am Black and proud. Whether you are black in the diaspora or in Africa, Africans need to come together to take back our place.

    This video started my quest for knowledge and understanding oneself. My father rented this video for me from Blockbuster Video when I was in the 6th grade (1990) and it changed my life forever. Great 👍🏾upload 👏🏾 Reelblack

    Ignorance is a choice in this revealing age. Thanks to our true educators and scholars that brings the information to us.
  • I just recieved my Ph.D in 30 minutes. May their souls rest in peace with our ancestors. We need this knowledge in mainstream media, in the schools and black community today. This was amazing.

    I cried listening to this. Africa stand up take your place in the sun, Africans everywhere whether stolen or not never forget our motherland.

    I traveled with Dr. Ben to Egypt and I learned the truth decades ago. Dr. Ben is extremely educated and knew the history of USA and Africa/Judea.

    I am so honored and greatful that as a young teenager my father bought me a ticket to see him in person and listen to one of his lectures. He's one of my heroes. Stronger than any superhero on this planet.

    I’m so proud to have been taught by these Black scholars at the Harlem Preparatory School in Harlem , NY. Dr.Ben and Mr. Simmonds shaped my life. They taught me African History, Economics of the Black Community. We had so much fun with them. They were brilliant, inspiring and so dedicated to us students. They nurtured us. That was true of every teacher at the Prep. They were a blessing to my life; the most dynamic teachers of truth EVER! I cherish their memory. This is a must watch. It’s one of many on you tube. Study their words. They are still amazing 50 years later.

    My first time hearing Dr. Ben speak and I'm at awe! Dr. Ben was a true Grand Master Teacher. I will be looking him up a lot more after this poerwful broadcast! Thank you for this GEM!
  • You are never too old to learn. We were taught only what was necessary, but not the truth!
  • @tiakobrooks6711
    I feel like we are not doing our best to acknowledge our great ancestors like Dr Ben and Chancellor Williams and. Dr .John Henrik Clarke
  • @rahimshakur7358
