An African American Way of Wisdom

Our Historical Challenges
Because we've endured centuries of a crushing servitude followed by a period of virulent racial prejudice, Black Americans are still seeking liberation today.

Black Liberation is Not What you Think
However, the meaning of Black liberation differs according to the times. In the past our liberation was about freedom from slavery. Although achieving emancipation was an epic milestone, slavery was too lengthy and traumatic a period to simply walk away from unscathed.
Civil Rights Was Not the End
The condition of the Black community has worsened since the fervent days of the civil rights movement, which was supposed to be the finish line of our struggle. Instead it turned out to be the starting point for even more struggle.
Where is the Fight?
Up until that point, our fight was against slavery and racism. However, once we achieved civil rights, the Black community's serious shortcomings were exposed. We now find ourselves locked in an epic battle against our own flaws as a people. Because the struggle has moved from the outside to the inside, this struggle is far more complex than anything we've faced in the past.
What Black Liberation Actually Means
Today, Black liberation is far more about how we actually live everyday rather than how we protest in the streets.
The Post-Negro Worldview
Now, for the first time in American history, solutions to these problems are offered directly from our own community and ancestral perspectives in the form of Post-Negro Studies, or Ajise (Ah-jee-sheh)—The Culture of Redemption and Renewal (CORAR)—A more effective culture for the 21st century and beyond.

The Post-Negro worldview teaches us that just as White Americans must truly move beyond their racist past, so too must Black Americans truly move beyond their Negro past.
