This group is open to all non-disruptive individuals on an equal basis. I'm curious about something in your statement, Sarah. You wish to keep your adopted African son connected with both his African culture (I assume this means his nation of origin) and Black American culture? What do you think these two cultures have in common? And what do you think a connection with Black American culture actually means? And how would one keep a child connected with his country of origin thousands of miles away?

Hello,
I am not black but my son is (adopted from Africa) and it is very important for me to do everything in my power to keep him connected with his African Culture, the American Black Culture, and strong ideology and roll models withing those cultures as well as my own personal morals. As an American Indian/White chick who is also a Secular Humanist it means I have some work ahead of me! I hope no one minds that I joined this group and plan to lurk around and read what people say!

I once asked Robeson's biographer Martin Duberman about Robeson's religious beliefs. He was defensive & cagey in responding; I don't recall his answer, though. Robeson does make reference to Providence; Duberman suggested that Robeson didn't take refuge in the Bible, but who knows? A friend of Robeson's the black communist Lloyd Brown, did say that he (Brown) was culturally religious (if I recall correctly), and he may have wanted to create the impression that Robeson was, too. I wish I knew more. Many black lefties were on the down low about religion. Others you never heard of, maybe not so much.

How could I not sign up when I saw you had a picture of "The Man" himself, the autodidact, the man who graces the wall in my living room- Hubert Henry Harrison. That is a great look for the groups logo. His is a story of great inspiration to me,which had made me wonder how many other greats like hisself that I was not aware of J.A Rogers and Paul Robeson (not sure of Robeson's religious beliefs but defintely a freethinker). These are people the youth need to hear and know about. I have the utmost respect for waht Dr. King did but its alot deeper than that. We need to pisk our own heros instead of being told who to celebrate. I digress, but just a thought.
Anyway thx for the welcome.
