The plans for 3/23/13 have changed.

SALUTE TO CONNECTED SPIRIT FOR CATCHING THE EARLIER MISTAKE
Instead of attending the S.T.E.M. Expo in Portsmouth we will attend the 3/23/13 PHAT Conference at Booker T. Washington from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. Here is the plan. One of our The Golden Fold Mentors will greet our Young Leaders at Booker T. Washington at 8:45 am for parents who wish to drop off their Young Leaders at BTW. Kinji Ridley will meet Young Leaders at Tidewater Community College (our normal location) begining at 8:30 with a TCC van to transport the members of SAAB and our Young Leaders to the PHAT conference. After the conference our Young Leaders will either be picked up by their parents at 3:00 pm or trtansported to TCC and arriving approximately at 3:40 pm. If you wish to confirm arrangements contact Brother Kinji 757-401-1240.
The 6th Annual PHAT (Promoting Healthy Active Teens) conference is on Saturday, March 23 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Booker T. Washington High School. This conference was created by middle and high school students as well as parents to share pertinent information to keep teens healthy.

This conference is presented by the Cooper-Mercer Institute, who develops health and wellness programs for under-served populations, and will include workshops, entertainment, informational booths, breakfast and lunch. Cooking demonstrations and lunch will be prepared by Norfolk Public Schools culinary arts students under the direction of Chef Damon Armstrong in an effort to promote National Nutrition Month and bring awareness to adolescent obesity.
This year, in order to gain entry into the conference, attendees are asked to show community support and donate food that will go toward the Backpack Program at Jacox Elementary School.
One of the culminating activities of the conference is a step show competition that promotes a rigorous, fun and non-intimidating way to encourage fitness. Volunteers and organizations are encouraged to come out and participate.

Enslaved with SWAG and We Ain't No N*gg@z

Your grade school education left you with the very false impression that ALL slaves were submissive, timid, illiterate, severely oppressed & dirt poor. SOME may have been, but MANY were not.  A vast number of slaves fought back, became educated, earned great wealth and purchased their freedom, yet you know little to nothing about them.

Watch the video here: http://youtu.be/JuDy8sTLhko

WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO KNOW THE WHOLE-STORY
INSTEAD OF ONLY HIS-STORY?
WE AIN'T NO NIGGAS! KNOWLEDGE SAMPLE
Name: King Mentuhotep
Place
: Egypt, Africa
Time
: ~2080 - 2010 B.C.
King Metuhotep was a proud African who ruled during the XIth Dynasty of the Egyptian Empire. He was known as the 'Uniter of Two Lands' as he orchestrated the re-unification of Egypt and Nubia. King Mentuhotep's reign as King lasted for fifty years
Name: Pharaoh Khafre
Place
: Egypt, Africa
Time
: ~2578 - 2532 B.C.
Pharaoh Khafre was the son of the Great Pyramid Builder, Pharaoh Khufu. Like his father, Khafre ruled over a prosperous kingdom that had the leisure to erect massive structures in honor of their legendary ruler. Pharaoh Khafre provided the human and financial resources to build the Second Pyramid at Giza. Pharaoh Khafre also had the visionary genius to instruct his followers to erect the legendary Great Sphinx in his honor and more importantly in his image.
Name: Pharaoh Akhenaten
Place
: Egypt, Africa
Time
: ~1370 - 1334 B.C.
Pharaoh Akhenaten took over a very prosperous, intellectually and artistically live kingdom from his father, Pharaoh Amenhotep III. Pharaoh Akhenaten was married to the legendary Queen Nefertiti and was one of the first rulers to direct his people towards the worship of only one God, Aten. Pharaoh Akhenaten was known as a very peaceful ruler who built his own city and wrote religious hymns for Aten. In fact, Akhenaten's Hymn to Aten is etched in the tomb of his chief minister Ay.
Name: Sheikh el-Beled - Ka-aper
Place
: Egypt, Africa
Time
: ~2500 - 2400 B.C.
The African workers who found this statue named it Sheikh el-Beled (Chief of the Village) due to its resemblance of their current chief. The man depicted by the statue is Ka-aper. Ka-aper was a chief priest and/or high ranking government official during the Vth Dynasty of Egypt. His statue was created with the finest detail including his distinguished eyes made of rock crystal and quartz and his low haircut.
Name: Emperor Menelik IIPlace: Ethiopia, AfricaTime: 1844 - 1913 A.D.Emperor Menelik II developed Ethiopia into a securely structured, technologically advanced African state. So it comes as no surprise to hear that Emperor Menelik II and his African army successfully defended Ethiopia from Italian imperialists at the Battle of Adwa in 1896. After slaying the Italians on the battlefield, Menelik proudly declared the absolute independence of Ethiopia and continued on with the defense and technological advancement of this great African nation.
These are all statues of King Tut!  Undeniably African!
