There are so many scholars in our community that have tried to warn us
and discuss the fact that society as it is – is not forever and that it will go through many phases of decline and our
reality and direction will have to change. We are not in a comfort zone – and living an American Dream, this is an illusion.
Below, I have compiled a list of writers that discuss some of the same things that Afrikan scholars and organizations have
been trying to tell our people. We have become deft when it comes to listening to our own, it is like a mental schism that
we must erase and listen to one another to create the changes that we must make to survive and to live in a sustainable world.
I recently
saw the film What A Way To GoLife At The End Of Empire, by Writer/Director Timothy S. Bennett,
Producer Sally C. Erickson
Consultant - Barbara
Trent, Producer and Director of the
1993 Oscar® winning feature documentary, The Panama
Deception.
The film was very
exploratory in regards to where we are as human beings on this planet and the challenges that we must all overcome as a species,
and must understand how we fit and do not fit well on earth. I wrote down some of the authors that were interviewed in the
film that I found interesting. I want to share this information with the reading public.
As we all explore and come to the reality that the game is over and where do we go from here.
It is against this backdrop and reality that we, the Ghana Nkwanta Project need your help and support
towards building sustainable communities and knowledge base.
