Reclaiming African Roots in History | Newark News
Description
For over 30 years, Newark history teacher Bashir Muhammad Ptah Akinyele has witnessed how African contributions to civilization are systematically erased from education — from the discovery of “Lucy” in Ethiopia to the advanced wisdom of ancient Kemet, often misrepresented as European or Arab. He exposes how white supremacy distorts history, downplaying Black achievements in math, philosophy, government, and ethics — including the Mande Charter’s human rights principles and the 42 Laws of Ma’at, roots of the Ten Commandments. Akinyele demands a reckoning: correcting this miseducation is essential to reclaiming truth and honoring humanity’s true origins.
