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.

Very true.. I am not African american but a Saudi Arabian and been to US before and other parts of the world.. I agree with the content of this video. African history is important to not only African but to the world, same is true to Indian, Chinese, European and Arab history…and many other. Imagine a world of only one race, one type of music.. and one history.. what a boring world!!

Excellent and Necessary Direction However The Reasoning all Rememberance of Descriptive American Black History is Tainted with Descrepancies,Ommissions,Non Revealed or Prominence and Misguidedness! Also a Major impetutous Reverberating the Behavior of Countless American Blacks Connected with the Failures of Their Genetic Predecessors and Immediate Biologicals to date inspite of The Bias and Agenda of The Dominant Society Race? Yes I am The God Dominus!
