Fellow members:
I am writing to inform those of you in Britain that the Birmingham based
African Caribbean Self Helf Organisation will be hosting a two day course at
the Organisation's headquarters, located at 104 Heathfield Road, here in
Birmingham, on the weekend of 29 & 30 April, from 10 am until 6pm each day.
This will be a 16-hour course over two days at University level. One of the
unique features of this course would be its straight forward teaching
approach. Cassette tapes of the course will also be made available to all
participants.
The course "Giant Footsteps in the Sands of Time" takes participants on an
exciting and an enlightening journey which traces the historical footsteps
of the Afrikan people spanning 14 million years up to the year 1942 of the
common era. It will be conducted by Dr Ishakamusa Barashango (USA), the
renowned historian, author and lecturer.
Each module in the 10 module course covers a particular chronological period
in the growth and development of the Afrikan people and their creation and
establishment of high culture civilisations in the ancient world.
One of the objectives of this course is to put the formerly existent
research data and the more recent rediscoveries of some of the brilliant
scholars of our time in the language of and at the fingerprints of educators
and people from all walks of life.
Fees for the course are £65 for the two days, for individuals, and £95 for
institutions. For Further information, you can call Brother Bini Brown on
0121 554 2747.
The Organisation's address is 104 Heathfield Rd, Birmingham, B19 1HJ.
