I have watched both films Hidden Colors 1 & 2 by film maker, author, and speaker Tariq Nasheed, these video’s changed my life and how I saw myself as a African American Female. These films are full of knowledge and contain powerful information that every black person should see. We should know our history and the TRUTH. Here is a clip from Hidden Colors 1 where Tariq Nasheed discussing The Moors. Check out http://hiddencolorsfilm.com/ to purchase both films. This brotha not only has films but books, radio show and travels all over the world speaking on issues that effect our community. Check this brotha out.

The REAL Statue of Liberty

The original statue of Liberty gifted by the French to America was not the stern-faced green Roman looking woman that you see today holding a tablet and a torch. The original and first Statue of Liberty was a Black woman holding the broken shackles of slavery. She was refused on the notion that the black statue would be a constant reminder of the liberty that the slaves earned, from successfully fighting in the American Civil War. The true Black Statue of Liberty remains rejected, forgotten and lost in broken fragments of Black history.

Black History Moment (Black Panthers 1969)

My Hero’s, members of the Black Panther Party on February 29, 1969, led by Lt. Elmer Dixon gathered on the steps of the Capitol in Olympia to protest a bill that would make it a crime to exhibit firearms “in a manner manifesting an intent to intimidate others.” In contrast to the California demonstration, they did not enter the building and they were not arrested.
