The story of Black History Month begins a decade after the founding of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History. When he conceived of the ASALH in 1915, Carter G. Woodson believed that publishing scientific history about the black race would produce facts that would prove to the world that Africa and its people had played a crucial role in the development of civilization. As a Harvard-trained historian, Woodson, like W. E. B. Du Bois before him, believed that the truth could not be denied and that reason would prevail over prejudice. He thus established a scholarly journal, The Journal of Negro History, a year after he formed the Association. Scientific history, he believed, would counter racial falsehoods, and the community of white scholars would alter its view of the black race. Eventually the truth would trickle down to the public, and the race problem would gradually disappear.

A decade into his labors, Woodson began to think differently about the inherent power of scholarship, the importance of the scholarly community in promoting the truth, and the place of the community in the Association's mission. Scholarship had not transformed race relations, and most white historians had not come to recognize the truth when it was placed before them.

As early as 1920, Woodson had urged black civic organizations to promote the achievements that researchers were uncovering. That year he prodded his fraternity brothers at Omega Psi Phi to take up the work.

In 1924 they responded with the creation of Negro History and Literature Week, which they renamed Negro Achievement Week. By 1925, Woodson decided that the Association had to expand its program. Henforth it would be an organization dedicated to discovering and popularizing the truth. The Association had to re~educate blacks as well as whites, and its doors had to be opened to all interested in history, not just historians and other scholars.

When the Association announced Negro History Week for 1926, Woodson was overwhelmed by the response. Black history clubs sprang up, teachers demanded materials to instruct their pupils, and progressive whites, not simply white scholars and philanthropists, stepped forward to endorse the effort. Woodson and the Association scrambled
to meet the demands of public history. For teachers, the Association published photographs and portraits of important black people. It published plays to dramatize black history. To serve the desire of history buffs to participate in the re~education of black folks, ASNLH formed branches to bring them into the organization.

Woodson selected the week of February that encompassed the birthdays of both Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass, two giants in the history of African Americans. Lincoln, of course, had issued the Emancipation Proclamation that moved the nation away from slavery, and Frederick Douglass had been the greatest leader of African Americans. Symbolically, the selection of Lincoln's and Douglass' birthdays as the week to study Black history reflected Woodson's belief that the history of African Americans was American history.

When Woodson passed in 1950, the Association continued the celebration of Negro History Week. By the time of his death, Negro History Week had become a central part of African American life and substantial progress had been made in bringing more Americans to appreciate the celebration. At mid~century, in cities across the country, mayors issued proclamations noting Negro History Week.

The Black Awakening of the 1960s dramatically expanded the consciousness of African Americans about the importance of black history. The Freedom Schools established during the civil rights era all included the study of Black history. As African Americans entered into mainstream colleges, they demanded Black Studies and Black history became a central feature. Increasingly there were cries for more than a week to study Black history.

The Association, the center of the study of Black life and history, underwent its own changes, including a recognition of the need to devote more time to Black History. In 1976, fifty years after the first celebration, the Association held the first Black History Month. By this time, the entire nation had come to recognize the importance of Black history in the drama of the American
story. Since then all American presidents, Republicans and Democrats alike have issued Black History Month proclamations.

In keeping with tradition, the Association, now known as the Association for the Study of African American Life and History, believes that Black history, like American history, should be studied 365 days a year. Yet as the Founders of Black History Month, ASALH continues to view February as the critical month for carrying forth the mission.

My argument is that we need to be interconnecting accuracy and relevancy of information about H1N1 in order to deal with it most appropriately.
The accuracy of whether the Swine Flu is REAL or not by itself is very important and addressed in this resourcs, but even more important is the need for Afrikan people to be in the know regarding REAL plans being created and implemented that are not in OUR best interest in the least and are life threatening at the most.

The growing controversy over vaccines – where children are forced to get increasing numbers of vaccinations before attending school, and parents are forced to decide whether to comply despite the reality that dreadful adverse reactions to the shots do regularly occur – has now mushroomed into an issue crucial to all Americans, but particularly to African Americans.

Dr. F. A. Young, Esq. commented on RBG Street Scholar's Classroom's blog post 'Medical Apartheid: Medical Ethicist / Dr. Harriet Washington and Tuskegee Syphilis Study/Vanessa Northington Gamble, M.D., Ph.D.'
Poor children - malnourished children - children that are suffering from poor diets - should not be subjected to the swine flu vaccine. Common sense should tell us there is danger and that there weakened malnourished bodies can not withstand this deadly experiment. Black health care professionals must understand the risk and alert the community to be on guard. I fear large numbers of deaths may result among malnourished children and teens that are forced to take this swine flu vaccine. I pray I am wrong. Peace

Mexican Flu Outbreak 2009: SPECIAL REPORT by Dr Leonard Horowitz

This unprecedented H1N1-H5N1 flu outbreak implicates the Ango-American Vaccine Pipeline, says world leading consumer health protector, Dr. Leonard Horowitz

Consider the skyrocketing stock values of Novavax, Inc., precipitated by dozens of alleged flu deaths in Mexico. Then investigate the leading Anglo-American network of genetic engineers manipulating, mutating, and distributing these viruses. The evidence compels you, for the benefit of public health and safety to seriously consider, even decree, a conspiracy to commit genocide, according to this Harvard trained expert in emerging diseases.

Here, Dr. Horowitz urges an investigation of Dr. James S. Robertson, Englands leading bioengineer of flu viruses for the vaccine industry, and avid promoter of U.S. Government funding for lucrative biodefense contracts, along with collaborators at the US Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC). These suspects helped Novavax, Inc., in Bethesda, Maryland, produce genetically-modified recombinants of the avian, swine, and Spanish flu viruses, H5N1 and H1N1, nearly identical to the unprecedented Mexican virus that is allegedly spreading to the United States at the time of this posting. The outbreak was precisely timed to promote the companys new research and huge vaccine stockpiling contracts.

Scientists at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) are implicated through collaborations and publications involving private contracts with Novavax, a company that obtains its biosimulars through CDC Influenza Branch director, Ruben O. Donis, and Dr. Rick Bright, previously working with Donis at the CDC, now Novavaxs Vice President of Global Influenza Programs.

Descriptions of this virus is pathognomonic, or diagnostic, of a virus that came from Robertsons circle of friends, Dr. Horowitz charges. No other group in the world takes H5N1 Asian flu infected chickens, brings them to Europe, extracts their DNA, combines their proteins with H1N1 viruses from the 1918 Spanish flu isolate, additionally mixes in swine flu genes from pigs, then reverse engineers them to infect humans. The end product could only have ended up in Mexico via the United States from Britain in care of the CDC. The CDC had to have sent them to Novavax, where Rick Brights team is now implicated in a conspiracy to commit genocide—the mass killing of people for profit.

"The U.S. government is warning that a new avian super-flu could kill nearly two million Americans -- or if we're "lucky" just 200,000.

Mainstream media is parroting the paranoia, routinely spotlighting the relative few deaths attributed to the virus elsewhere in the world while staying calm to silent about the 2.8 million deaths yearly from AIDS worldwide and the 300,000 deaths yearly in the U.S. alone from obesity.

An entire industry has taken flight around the great bird flu fear, with everything from bird flu masks and respirators to guides on how to survive the coming plague being hawked to a terrified public.

But there is no coming bird flu pandemic.

It is a big lie being fed by the government and big business for reasons that ironically pose a much more serious threat to your health ... reasons you will learn all about in my new book The Great Bird Flu Hoax that is available for a special 32% off price with bonuses today.

In a highly engaging style -- once you start reading this book I am certain you won't want to put the book down -- The Great Bird Flu Hoax picks apart the absurd claims that the great bird flu epidemic is coming and the sky is falling ... but even more importantly it then also exposes what you should REALLY be worried about in relation ...

The multi-national drug companies and food corporations who are pouring billions into manipulating your perception of health and now the daily news in order to earn ever-greater profits ... and how they are doing it, and the health threats (and ethics breaches) they are REALLY responsible for
The scientists being bought by drug companies and other big business to report whatever "research findings" they have been purchased to report
A government that is more than just complicit ... working with the drug companies and other stalwarts of the conventional healthcare paradigm, they are directly responsible for raising false alarms in order to draw your attention AWAY from the real public health and safety issues they are PERPETUATING.

For example, you will learn how, in preparation for the supposed coming bird flu plague, the government purchased $2 billion worth of Tamiflu (a drug whose effectiveness in relation to H5N1 is questionable) ... and how Donald Rumsfeld -- once president of the company that developed Tamiflu -- stands to benefit BIG-TIME from this "coincidence."

From the report "SCARY MEDICINE:

Exposing the dark side of vaccines."

http://shop.wnd.com/store/item.asp?ITEM_ID=2083

For years, the vaccine debate was confined largely to the traditional childhood vaccines like DPT (diphtheria-pertussis-tetanus), MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) and polio. Even then, there were major concerns. The pertussis vaccine, for example, is notorious for having rare but horrendous side effects, and most polio cases in the world in recent years have been caused by the live-virus vaccine itself!

But in recent times, many new childhood vaccines have been introduced, from rotavirus and chickenpox to hepatitis B, meningitis and pneumonia, each with their own controversies and, in some cases, scandals. At first, the new vaccines are just ''suggested,'' then they became ''recommended" by pediatricians, and before long they're ''required'' before entering public school.

"A one-year-old healthy child today can get 10 different antigens injected into his body in one day," warns columnist Barbara Simpson in this issue of Whistleblower. "No one knows the effect on his immune system, and such tests haven't been conducted."

But it gets worse, much worse. As a result of today's vaccine mania:

Right now, state after state is attempting literally to force young, prepubescent school-girls into getting a brand-new vaccine, with an unproven safety record, to prevent a sexually transmitted form of cancer. The manufacturer, pharmaceutical giant Merck, has lobbied state politicians to make their vaccine mandatory.

There's major movement toward an AIDS vaccine. Once approved by the government, will there be another push like the current one to immunize schoolgirls against a sexually transmitted disease, only this time to mandate the AIDS vaccine for everybody?

Despite publicity to the contrary, the controversial mercury-based vaccine preservative Thimerosal – thought by some researchers to be linked to rising levels of autism in the U.S. – is still used in some vaccines.

Then there's the U.S. military, which compels soldiers to get multiple vaccinations. Some experts, citing compelling evidence, blame the military's anthrax shots for the epidemic dubbed "Gulf War Syndrome."

These are just a few of the controversies explored in "SCARY MEDICINE: Exposing the dark side of vaccines."

In this highly polarized debate, on one side there is the medical establishment, including the federal government's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which endlessly repeats the mantra that vaccines are safe and effective and everybody should get them. To question their wisdom tags one as a paranoid conspiracy theorist.

On the other side is a substantial and growing movement of skeptics, including many medical professionals, who openly question vaccines. Some are strident, claiming all vaccines are bad for all people at all times and places, and a few even impute a sinister motive to vaccine manufacturers and the doctors that give the shots. But many others are careful and nuanced and very well informed. They consider each vaccine individually on its merits as well as its known and suspected negatives – and come out holding up a big "caution" sign.

Questions we must ask and facts we must consider:

"Do vaccines cause cancer?" – the startling but indisputable story of how 10 to 30 million Americans received polio shots tainted with monkey virus linked to cancers

"Medical terrorists on your doorstep" by Barbara Simpson, who shows how today's vaccine mania is pumping healthy children full of dozens of foreign antigens, without their parents being fully informed about the shots

"Newborn vaccinated over parents' objections" by Diana Lynne, who documents the Orwellian nightmare of a young couple as armed guards forced their infant's vaccination against a sexually transmitted disease

"Civilians could face mandatory anthrax shots" by Bob Unruh, on credible evidence tying the controversial shots to Gulf War Syndrome, and quoting an expert warning that civilians could be required to received the government's 10 million "emergency" doses

"New study links mercury to autism," documenting how the incidence of the common disorder dropped dramatically after a controversial mercury-based preservative was removed from most vaccines

"Feds' conflict of interest over vaccines?" by Jon Dougherty, on the history of "incestuous" ties between drug-makers and the federal government

"Doctors' group opposes all vaccine mandates." The 4,000-member Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, established in 1943, has called for a moratorium on the government forcing any vaccines on the American people, warning, "Our children face the possibility of death or serious long-term adverse effects"
"Vaccinations and the right to refuse”

Below is some data, including websites and links to videos discussion, that supports this position.

Ghislaine Lanctot The Medical Mafia.pdf ( 4.01MB )

Questions addressed in this book:

How does the health system really work?
Who are the members of the Medical Mafia?
Who really pulls the strings?
How patients are exploited?
What vital information is and has been suppressed?
Why health care systems are actually sickness systems.
Why socialized medicine is a monopoly for financiers and whose price includes an almost total loss of freedom of choice.
How doctors have become powerless drug industry salespersons.
Why proposed health care reform is a ploy!
How did we get into such a mess when in fact each of us has the ultimate say over our health and the inherent costs of maintaining it?

And, it addresses solutions:

How we can escape "alive" and regain unlimited health and wealth?
How to take back our power over our lives and as such over our health?
What we can do to set up affordable health services that serve us rather than the pharmaceutical industry?
We alone possess the means to regain our health and find prosperity!

The publication of the Medical Mafia caused quite a stir. On its way to becoming a best seller it landed its author before the Medical Board.

After a drawn out hearing, which saw most of her witnesses set aside, not surprisingly, the verdict was unequivocal - "Guilty" for having dared to speak out. The medical establishment takes a very dim view of any member who dares to speak out, all this under the guise of protecting the public. Free speech is replaced by the party line....

Ghislaine Lanctôt was banned for life from practicing medicine. And if that wasn't enough, she was to pay for the expenses the establishment had incurred in bringing her to trial.

Her reaction to that, as reported in one newspaper, was also unequivocal: "Over my dead body!"

The trial is recounted in "The Trial of The Medical Mafia" by Joachim Schafer.

The Medical Mafia: The superb expose of the medical system by the Canadian doctor, Ghislaine Lanctôt, who also shows how and why "alternative" methods are far more effective.
