Interestingly, many Christians, particularly Black Christians, are often unaware of the true origins of the December global celebration. Previously, the celebration was variably scheduled in January, March, April, May, or September, reflecting uncertainty about the actual birthdate of Jesus.
The holidays we observe today have their roots in sacred days from ancient Kemetic or what is popularly known as Egyptian culture, where these occasions were timed with celestial events such as the alignment of stars, constellations, and the sun’s position relative to Earth.

The colonial education narrative has consistently taught, and still teaches, Africans that their ancestors relied solely on oral traditions to transmit knowledge and memory. Sadly, Africans in the so-called West, Central, East, and Southern African regions are unaware of writing systems in these parts of Africa.

Here’s a sad fact, Rosa Parks lived in extreme poverty later in life. The head of Dominos Pizza found out and paid for her housing until she passed away…

Claudette Calvin stood out to me. And how Helen Kane stole the style of Ester Jones. That happens today when whites steal what the black man makes up. Takes it and makes it his own. It's happened to me. Numerous of times.

I'm a Cameroonian and have always been interested in what happened to our brothers and sisters who were enslaved from here to the Americas. I'd love to see a video that epxlores the relationship between Africans and African-Americans more. Thanks for this. I really loved Claudette Colvin's story and it's even more exciting that she's still alive! I work for Mission Aviation Fellowship in Chad and Bessie Coleman's story was quite intriguing too though sad that she died too soon
