in 1955, a murder took place in Money, Mississippi. 14-year-old Emmett Till was kidnapped in the middle of the night by two white men, Roy Bryant and J.W. Milam. They tortured, beat and shot the teenager, casting his body into the Tallahatchie River tied to a cotton gin fan.

For African Americans, the murder of Till was evidence of the decades-old codes of violence exacted upon Black men and women for breaking the rules of white supremacy in the Deep South. Particularly for Black men, who, like Till, found themselves under threat of attack or death for sexual advances towards white women – which often were fabricated claims. As recently as June of this year, an arrest warrant was uncovered in Mississippi for Carolyn Bryant Donham, the White woman whose false claim instigated Till’s attack. Till’s brutal murder, and his mother Mamie’s call to display his open casket to the world, reverberated a need for immediate change.

In an effort to provide a space for history, truth, reconciliation and healing, the museum acquired Emmett Till’s original casket. The powerful object not only helps tell the difficult history of racial violence and the Civil Rights movement, but it also gives pause to visitors and makes them reflect in the same way his mother encouraged the public to do so in 1955.

The African Mystery Schools of Kemet aka The Wa'set Temple

"The Light of the World." From the Great Pyramid of Khufu and Khafre... to the majestic Sphinx!

Africans are the first masters of Mathematics, Architecture, Science, Astronomy, and Engineering. Master architects of the Temple(s) of Luxor, Thebes, Karnak, Edfu, Philae and Abu Simbel!

Greek Scholars such as; Aristotle, Socrates, Plato, Justinian I, Pythagoras, Ptolemy, and Augustus learned under the Kemetic High Priests in the African Mystery Schools, in which is now called "Masonic Lodges".

The Greeks referred to the Kemetic priests as the "Sons of light!"

Once these Europeans returned to Athens Greece, they would share the knowledge and wisdom they acquired in exchange for elite positions in the Royal Houses of Greece.

Despite renaming many things according to their cultural understanding, the Greeks gave credit to the Kemetic gods, goddesses, and High Priest from whom they were taught by in Kemet.

THE GLOBAL AFRICAN AWAKENING ASE'

◉Plato studied in Egypt for 13 years and considered it to be the most ancient of all Antiquities.

◉Pythagoras studied philosophy, geometry and medicine in Egypt for 22 years.

◉Thales, the first Greek philosopher to study in Egypt for 7 years.

◉Hippocrates, who is called father of medicine, recognized the Egyptian multi-genius, Imhotep as the father of medicine.

◉What is now call "The Pythagorean Theorem" was used to build pyramids in Egypt 1000 years before Pythagorean was born.

◉Plato said Egyptian education makes students more alert and humane. Plato told his students to go to Egypt if they wanted to study the minds of great philosophers.

◉Herodotus, the Greek historian described ancient Egypt as the cradle of civilization. He also mentioned they were Black skinned and had wholly hair.

◉According to Aristotle, “the mathematical arts had never before been formed, constituted or elaborated anywhere else originating in Egypt only...”

The facts show, Africans opened the doors of their Nations, Empires, and Kingdoms to foreign people. These guests, were welcomed with respect and honor according to African traditions. After grasping hold of the ancient science, information, and resources, many of the foreigners used African kindness to exploit, enslave, plunder, destroy and cause division amongst the Africans.

To this very day, EVERY thriving Nation relies on its exploitation of African resources & Ancient culture & knowledge.
