E. B. DuBois N. Numadi Ivan L Potekhin Peter Mackintosh Sol Dubula J. B. Marks F Dr. W. E. B. DUBOIS A Great African Passes ON AUGUST 27, the day before the historic march of 200,000 on Washington, there died in Accra, Ghana, at the age of 95, a great son of Africa: Dr. William Edward Burghardt DuBois. The name of Dr. DuBois is inextricably bound up with the development both of the movement for freedom and equality for Africandescended people in his mother-country, the United States of America, and the great revolution for the freedom, independence and unity of our Continent. He devoted his whole life to the fight against colonialism and race discrimination, for world peace and African liberation. On February 23, 1868, only five years after Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation which formally abolished chattel slavery in the United States, he was born at Great Ba.ington, Massachusetts, U.S.A. He graduated as B.A. 1888, M.A. 1891, and PH.D., at Harvard University, 1895. From 1896 to 1910, Dr. DuBois held the chair of Economics and History at Atlanta and edited Atlanta University Studies. He was one of the founders of the Niagara Movement, subsequently the National Association for the Advancement of the Coloured People, and edited the N.A.A.P.C. journal Crisis from 1910 to 1932, when he returned as Professor of Sociology to Atlanta. Dr. DuBois was the father of the modem Pan-African movement. His struggles for many years to establish on firm foundations the struggle against colonialism and imperialism for African independence are recorded in his fascinating memoir published in this issue as a special tribute to his memory. The logic of Dr. DuBois' fight for the rights of the African and Negro people led him, step by step, to ever more radical and militant positions. After the Second World War he played a leading part in the United States and world peace movements, although these were highly unpopular with the United States imperialist authorities. He took part in the first Paris peace conference in April, 1949, and was chairman of the U.S. Peace Information Centre. As a result of these activities he suffered repeated acts of persecution by the U.S. Government. Not long before his death, Dr. W. E. B. DuBois set a bold and courageous example by joining that brave, hounded and persecuted organization, the Communist Party of the United States. In doing so .he not only affirmed that his whole life and career had led him towards the noble and correct principles of Marxism-Leninism; he also showed that a great statesman must be true to his principles, however much his opponents may try to smear and attack him for so doing. During his long and fruitful life, Dr. DuBois wrote a number of books of great value to all African and other interested students. The titles include: Suppression of the African Slave Trade (1896); The Philadelphia Negro (1899); The Souls of Black Folk (1903); John Brown (1909); Darkwater (1920); Dusk of Dawn (1940); Colour and Democracy. (1945); and The World and Africa (1946). At the time of his death Dr. DuBois was living in Accra, Ghana, and working on his great project, the African Encyclopedia. There can be no doubt that this great man has left his own people and the African continent as a whole deeply in his debt. His disciples include most of the foremost leaders of present-day Africa, and there is no doubt that his ideas have moulded our continent and will do still more in the future, carried on by a new generation, until they have triumphed from Cape to Cairo. Hamba Kahle, William Du Bois. Africa will never forget your memory. FREEDOM NOW! IT WAS FITTING indeed that the mighty demonstration of 200,000 Americans of African descent, together with thousands of white supporters, should have stood in solemn tribute to Dr. DuBois whose death occurred the day before that historic march, the greatest ever seen in America. For without the hard pioneering work of DuBois and his small group of founders, architects of the Negro liberation movement, that demonstration could not have taken place. But there are other factors too which have called forth the new fighting spirit of our kinsmen in America, a spirit which refuses to 'be patient and wait' for rights which they should long ago have enjoyed, and insistently demands 'freedom now!' This spirit has already transformed the entire United States political scene, broken through the stranglehold of Big Business monopoly capitalism which for so long froze and paralysed lany sort of mass activity and political progress, and opened up the way for real democratic transformations in America. Not least among such factors has been the tremendous drive and force of the African revolution on our own continent. It is absolutely intolerable to the spirit and the meaning of the New Africa that men and women should suffer in the United States or anywhere else merely because they or their ancestors have the proud distinction of coming from our continent. The 1963 Addis Ababa meeting of heads'of African states served clear warning on the White Supremacists of America that we of Africa cannot and will not allow the scandal to continue. All Africa marched in spirit with the 'Freedom Now!' marchers on Washington. And the day is not far off when the upholders of apartheid in the U.S.A. will have to face the same hard facts as their colleagues in the Republic of South Africa: that they cannot indefinitely ignore the will and the very strong feelings of an entire Continent. All over Africa, our blood boiled in fury when we read of the horrible bomb attack on a Negro Church in Birmingham, Alabama, when innocent children and adults were wantonly murdered by a fascist terrorist. We felt about it just as we do when Verwoerd murders innocent Africans in South Africa, or tortures Walter Sisulu and other heroes of our people in his barbarous jails. We in Africa are far from satisfied with expressions of sympathy from President Kennedy combined with a snail's pace at carrying out any concrete measures to remedy the innumerable forms of discrimination and colonial-type exploitation suffered by our African-descended kinsmen in the United States. We are only too familiar, throughout our continent, with the ruthless disregard of the African working people shown by American monopoly-capitalist mining and other concerns which are established here. And we are convinced that United States employers show the same utter disregard of the interests of the working man, especially the black working man, when they are at home. What is at the back of race discrimination, in the United States or anywhere else? It is not just some mistaken ideology about superior and inferior 'races'. That ideology is spread and peddled by the people who profit by it, by dividing the working class and getting huge profits out of sweated black labour. The same imperialist groups who side with reaction everywhere in the world, as expressed by the continuing trend of United States foreign policy, are responsible for white chauvinism and anti- African outrages at home. They are powerful groups indeed, dominating the American economy. And there is money in racialism; big money. That is why, as the Freedom Now! movement progresses, it is increasingly bound to find itself up against stiff resistance. When it comes, not merely to making verbal or legalistic concessions, but really to abolishing the roots of Jimcrow, the big money men will not retreat without a stern struggle, a struggle in which monopoly capitalism will increasingly expose itself as the enemy of the democratic American people, Negro and White alike.

  • Discover Ltd / Education for All Morocco Y6 – Y7 Geography Transition Unit
    Discover Ltd / Education for All Morocco Y6 – Y7 Geography Transition Unit For Primary School Leaders and Teachers June 2020 Dear Colleague I am delighted to attach a copy of the Y6-7 Geography Transition Unit. This unit of work has been designed to address the needs of Year 6 pupils in primary schools as they prepare for their transition into Year 7 at their secondary school. It has been prepared now (May 2020) in an attempt to address any uncertainty around school openings and traditional transition arrangements. We at Discover Ltd and Education for All Morocco decided to use the wealth of resources we have collected over many years for a variety of audiences to prepare a unit of home or school-based study around the ‘geography’ of Morocco. Our intention is that this supports: a) primary school colleagues planning home learning units; b) provides Year 6 pupils with a high quality study pack which aims to develop and enhance their knowledge, skills and understanding across the 3 key aims of the NC for Geography (skills; places / context; and physical / human geography); and c) supports secondary school colleagues as you revise and modify your traditional transition arrangements this term, should you not be able to hold face-to-face sessions with your new Year 7 intake of students. The aim is then that the pupils in Year 6 would bring their ‘completed’ study pack with them at the start of Year 7 to share with their geography teacher. We fully recognise that this is but a tiny part of the primary-secondary transition process but we hope that it makes that step from Y6-Y7 that little bit easier and slightly less stressful for Y6 pupils’.

    SEMESTER AT SEA COURSE SYLLABUS Colorado State University, Academic Partner Voyage: Spring 2019 Discipline: Geography Course Number and Title: GR 100 Introduction to Geography Division: Lower Faculty Name: M. Troy Burnett Semester Credit Hours: 3 Prerequisites: None COURSE DESCRIPTION In this course, students will be introduced to the multidisciplinary field of Geography—a discipline that straddles natural and social sciences as well as humanities. Topics in physical geography include weather/climate, biogeography, and geomorphology; while topics in human geography include cultural, economic, political and urban studies. As a survey course, the primary objective is to offer students insight into the conceptual terms and perspectives used in geography and how these are deployed in the field and for research. Space, place, global, local, scale, culture, nature, identity and image are but few of these terms to be introduced. These will be placed in the context of societal and environmental processes that equip the student to understand and come to terms with observable phenomena in different locations on the Earth. Throughout the course, some key tools of geographical analysis will be introduced and through fieldwork students will be required to demonstrate skills in using the introduced concepts and tools. LEARNING OBJECTIVES Understand the breadth of the discipline of geography. Be able to describe the differences and complementarities of human and physical geography Recognize the interconnectedness of people, places, and environment. Learn about the tools that geographers use. Develop map-reading skills Perceive the role that geography plays in our day‐to‐day lives. REQUIRED TEXTBOOKS Author: A. Getis, M. Bjelland, and V.

  • The Atlas Mountains. and at 5.30 A.M
    96 The Atlas Mountains. and at 5.30 A.M. we were on the lower edge of the crater, a keen N. wind, temperature 15° (F.), a slight sulphur smell in the air, and an absolutely perfect view. McAllister had never been beyond this point, much to our surprise, but we were all soon on our way round the E. side of the crater to the summit. From 7 A.M. till nearly 9 we stayed on the bare summit, the sun warm and the air almost motionless. Orizaba, Malinche, Ixtaccihuatl, Nevado de Toluca, and, we thought, the very distant Sierra Madre del Sur, all stood out clearly, as well as Mexico City and Amecameca to the N. and Puebla to the S. The crater was roaring steam from several vents it has since been in mild eruption. Returning to camp at aboD:t 11.30 we were waited upon by a dozen or so doubtful-looking characters, all armed, who said they wanted our money but had to be .content with cigarettes. After a horribly dusty ride of 4 hours to Amecameca we were lucky in securing a car to get us back to Mexico City in time for dinner.

  • Destiny Worse Than Artificial Borders in Africa: Somali Elite Politics1
    Destiny Worse than Artificial Borders in Africa: Somali Elite Politics1 Abdi Ismail Samatar I. Introduction Much political and scholarly energy has been spent in understanding the nature and impacts of political boundaries on African development and public life. The standard argument by many anticolonial groups is that the Berlin Conference that instigated the European scramble for Africa in the 19th century paid no attention to the geography of Afri- can livelihood experiences.2 Drawing boundaries engulfing territories claimed by various Europeans was arbitrary, and the legacy of their existence has caused much grief in the continent.3 It is a fact that colo- nial boundaries in Africa were artificial, but it is also the case that all political boundaries nearly everywhere are not natural. Most of these studies underscore how artificial colonial borders seg- mented communities that shared economic, ecological and cultural resources. In some cases, these boundaries have been the “cause” of inter-state conflicts between post-colonial countries, i.e., Ethiopia and Eritrea, Ethiopia and Somalia; Kenya and Somalia; Algeria and Morocco; Libya and Chad. But other equally artificial borders in the continent have not incited similar conflagrations despite fragmenting cultural, religious and ethnic groups, such as the Massai of Kenya and Tanzania, and the many communities that straddle along the borders of South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Namibia, etc. An unexplored question that demands urgent attention is why conflicts develop over some borders and not over others in different parts of the continent.4 As important as this question is, this paper examines a related but 19 Bildhaan Vol.
