The Chinese are mining gold left and right!

Welcome to part three of our series on the gold business on the West Coast of Africa, i.e., Sierra Leone, Guinea, Gambia, Burkina Faso. Based on my experience, I will discuss what the initial mandatory steps are should you decide to explore this opportunity? As with any venture, if you don’t put in the groundwork, the risk of failure is almost guaranteed.

So stay tuned potential millionaires.

School Desegregation: Why It Hurt Us and Will Continue to Do So!

The TWW has been celebrating our 3rd anniversary! Today's release was first broadcast on May 17, 2019. The topic remains front and center today. Did you know that only 2 % of our public school teachers are Black males? 

Since the implementation of the integration of our schools , over 50 years ago, there has been a downward trend in the Black family unit, violence, and especially the preparation of our children to compete domestically and globally. This issue has also led to kids being sent to special education and eventually the Criminal Justice System. How do we go about changing this dynamic ? Where  are our role models? Do we need to roll the clock back?

What is Critical Race Theory ? It Must Matter to Rick DeSantis and a Lot Folks!

Is Critical Race Theory a clear and present danger to this country? Why are the southern states rushing to block the true history of our country? 

Andino Ward joins us this week to discuss Critical Race Theory.

We did not realize that CRT would bring such strong disagreements within our team. It did. So we have to do Part II.

Definition

Critical race theory is an academic concept that is more than 40 years old. The core idea is that race is a social construct, and that racism is not merely the product of individual bias or prejudice, but also something embedded in legal systems and policies.

The basic tenets of critical race theory, or CRT, emerged out of a framework for legal analysis in the late 1970s and early 1980s created by legal scholars Derrick Bell, Kimberlé Crenshaw, and Richard Delgado, among others.

26 States are taking action to circumvent CRT and the Republicans are livid! 

Our School Safety Officers: NYPD or DOE?

Do we assign our School Safety Agents, who are the frontline in keeping NYC students and the school community safe, from under the NYPD to the DOE? We are all stakeholders in the outcome. Our special guests will provide their rationale against the move to DOE and how, Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, among others initiated this.
