Why We Need Black History Month - All Year Around From "Ghana Review" Vol 1. No. 6 Friday 27 January 1995 Supplement Black History Month N.B. Posted with permission of GHANA REVIEW. Having lived in Canada for many years now, I have come to know the month of February as Black History Month. In fact, since 1926, February has been designated as Black History month in North America. During one of the Black History Month celebrations here in Edmonton, I engaged in a chat with a gentleman who had come to find out what it was all about. During our conversation he kept asking me why do Black people need a month to celebrate their history? He wanted to know what is Black history? And if there is any history of African people at all to talk or read about. I must say I was not surprised at his queries. I cannot remember the number of times I have heard or read somewhere that, as Africans we have not contributed anything substantial to history. In fact, to many Westerners we have no history at all. This statement by a Columbia University professor is very typical: "Over the past 5,000 years," he noted, "the history of black Africa is blank. The black African had no written language; no numerals; no calendar, or system of measurement. He did not devise a plough or wheel, nor did he domesticate an animal; he built nothing more complex than a mud hut or thatched stockade. The African had no external trade except in slaves of his own race, in ivory, and (on the West Coast) in palm oil and mahogany."

Volume XIX , No. October, 2001 , Office of International Services Teaching International Relations By Charli Schuler, Publications Editor International Relations majors are giving local high school students a taste of world events. The Teaching International Relations Program (TIRP), sponsored by the School of International Relations and the Center for Active Learning in International Studies, is a program similar to the Joint Educational Project (JEP). Representatives from TIRP recruit International Relations majors during IR courses to teach a variety of subjects to high school students in the surrounding community. In exchange for their services, IR students can receive extra credit, as well as a solidified knowledge of subject matter related to their majors. Kuo United States Volunteers are required to teach four classes a week for four weeks at schools like Foshay Learning Center Fremont High School Los Angeles High School and Belmont High School . TIRP sends out invitations every semester to teachers at local schools asking them to participate. This semester, there are seven schools, 15 teachers and 23 high school classes involved. The subject matter taught is usually between high school teacher and the volunteers. Some teachers specify a subject ahead of time, in which case the subject is printed on a sign-up sheet in the TIRP office, located in VKC 263. Rema Volunteers usually sign up for the program based on time they have available to teach. They are required to teach one class period during daytime high school hours. Many sophomores and juniors volunteer, primarily IR majors in search of extra credit for their classes, Christy said. TIRP hardly ever recruits outside the IR program at

An administrative reform document was discovered which showed that citizens were allowed to know why certain actions were punished. It was also harsh by modern standards. Thieves and adulteresses were to be stoned to death with stones inscribed with the name of their crime. The code confirmed that the "king was appointed by the gods". 2050 BC: Ur-Nammu's Code The earliest known written legal code of which a copy has been found, albeit a copy in such poor shape that only five articles can be deciphered. Archaeological evidence shows that it was supported by an advanced legal system which included specialized judges, the giving of testimony under oath, the proper form of judicial decisions and the ability of the judges to order that damages be paid to a victim by the guilty party. The Code allowed for the dismissal of corrupt men, protection for the poor and a punishment system where the punishment is proportionate to the crime. Although it is called "Ur-Nammu's Code, historians generally agree that it was written by his son Shugli.

71. Interview With Craig Derksen We follow an American curriculum at our school. I teach AP US history, 11thgrade US history (survey course), and 9th grade ancient world history. http://historymatters.gmu.edu/d/6675/

Interview with Craig Derksen 1. When did you start teaching and where have you taught? I have taught overseas for nine years, in three different continents. Currently, I am teaching at Dharan Academy High School, in Dharan, Saudi Arabia. I attended American international schools from first grade through high school and have spent 28 of my 36 years outside of North America. This background helps me relate easily to my students. Like me, they are global nomads! 2. What courses are you teaching? What are the biggest themes that you try to convey in your survey course? We follow an American curriculum at our school. I teach AP U.S. history, 11th grade U.S. history (survey course), and 9th grade ancient world history. In the U.S. history survey course, I focus more on the role of the U.S. in world affairs (foreign policy and trade issues) and spend less time on solely domestic issues (such as progressivism) than a teacher in the U.S. would. In ancient world history, we follow a fairly standard curriculum. However, I have expanded the Arab/Islamic Civilizations unit in consideration of where our school is located. 3. How do you organize your Arabic/Islamic Civilizations unit? What are the most effective assignments you use in that unit?

School for Scandal Claim: Seventh graders in California are subjected to an intense three-week course in Islam in which they are required to pray to Allah and memorize Koran verses. Status: Not quite. Example: [Collected on the Internet, 2001] Course has 7th-graders memorizing Koran verses, praying to Allah In the wake of Sept. 11, an increasing number of California public school students must attend an intensive three-week course on Islam, reports ASSIST News Service. The course mandates that seventh-graders learn the tenets of Islam, study the important figures of the faith, wear a robe, adopt a Muslim name and stage their own jihad. Adding to this apparent hypocrisy, reports ANS, students must memorize many verses in the Koran, are taught to pray "in the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful" and are instructed to chant, "Praise to Allah, Lord of Creation." "We could never teach Christianity like this," one outraged parent told ANS. Elizabeth Christina Lemings, a teacher in the Byron, Calif., Union School District, was unaware of the course until her seventh-grade son brought home the handouts. Obtained by ANS, the handouts include a history of Islam and the life of Muhammad, its founder. There are 25 Islamic terms that must be memorized, six Islamic (Arabic) phrases

History of SAIS SAIS in the Early Years The school was established during World War II by a group of statesmen who sought new methods of preparing men and women to cope with the international responsibilities that would be thrust upon the United States in the postwar world. The founders assembled a faculty of scholars and professionals to teach international relations, international economics and foreign languages to a small group of students. The curriculum was designed to be both scholarly and practical. The natural choice for the location of the school was Washington, D.C., a city where international resources are abundant and where American foreign policy is shaped and set in motion. When the school opened in 1944, 15 students were enrolled. SAIS became a division of The Johns Hopkins University in 1950, gaining access to the facilities and resources of a major academic institution. SAIS students are able to take advantage of these many resources offered at the Hopkins campuses in Baltimore in addition to those available in Washington, D.C. The Johns Hopkins University, founded in 1876, served as the model for many modern American universities by establishing post-graduate research as a major academic function. More than half of the university's 5,500 students are graduate students.

It grows and evolves according to the needs of human society. In the past, different civilizations categorized knowledge to suit the cultural paradigm of their times. A key focus of the present time, and an area demanding much further investigation, is the relationship between humans and nature. Sciences must be our guide in this endeavor, but history too can teach us important lessons of co-existence with our environment. To date, education and the media have only succeeded in fostering a culture characterized by narrow vested interests, intolerance and violence. While we meddle with the natural environment at our peril, and have failed to improve on the best that nature provides, human culture is the fountain of our progress and creativity. There must be a fundamental change in education, creating the desire for environmental protection and respect for human dignity and rights, as the two are mutually empowering. We must build on the best of our culture to engender a new attitude towards the quality and sustainability of life on earth. Above all we need to foster a culture of peace.
