Learning, Wisdon and the African World Experience: An Mbongi

In this discussion Dr. Carr reflected on the African Foundations for our intellectual work at Howard and in the human community. He taught us a few words in the Africana language and the most important one that stood out to me was " Sedi "which means to educate. Dr. Carr also stressed the importance of continuing education within the black community because he stated "Everything began in Africa including education". He also discussed the importance Africa had on the modern world and how we need to go back to our roots. I believe this to be very important because western education does not stress the importance Africa had on us as a whole today. This lecture has ultimately inspired me to learn more about my African heritage and stop being brainwashed by western civilization.
