Dr. Ivan Van Sertima 1986 “Obliterate the Columbus Myth”

In February of 1986, at the invitation of the Black Student Union at Los Angeles City College, Dr. Ivan Van Sertima delivered perhaps one of the most brilliant lectures of his career. He essentially obliterated the Columbus Myth and explained how Africa disintegrated under centuries of onslaught from without. Trained as a linguist, historian, writer and anthropologist all wrapped into one, Dr. Van Sertima was uniquely qualified as a world renowned scholar who studied Africa and the African diaspora. His scholarship place him among the pantheon of the world most brilliant minds in his field. His most famous work is the international bestseller (They came before Columbus), and the journals of African civilization. He is a literary critic, a linguist, and anthropologist and has made a name in all three fields. Ivan Gladstone Van Sertima (26 January 1935 – 25 May 2009) was a Guyanese-born associate professor of Africana Studies at Rutgers University in the United States. He was best known for his Olmec alternative origin speculations, a brand of pre-Columbian contact theory, which he proposed in his book “They Came Before Columbus” (1976). While his Olmec theory has "spread widely in African American community, both lay and scholarly", it was mostly ignored in Mesoamericanist scholarship, or else dismissed as Afrocentric pseudohistory to the effect of "robbing native American cultures". -- Tags: 911, F, FS Sertima, Ivan Van Sertima, Africa, Civilization, They Came Before Columbus, Literary Critic, Linguistics, Anthropology, Black Studies -- Produced: 2015, Episode: IVS-OCM Category: Education, 58:00 --

Randy Hurley 2014 “Don’t Impose Darkness on the Future”

Randy is of Black, Mexican, Native American descent and a Swami. Raised in a military family, he turned away from the path of a West Point commission and disappointed his father. Instead he followed his heart and spirit due to an intense inner desire for a world of Peace and Love. His journey from childhood in Arizona to Germany back to high school in Arizona then to San Francisco, placed him in the heart of the Sixty's. Colorado was next, then to India and Nepal; where he met his Master. From there he returned to India and was named a Swami by his Teacher. His Teacher asked him to spread Peace and Harmony. Upon his return to the US he was blessed to be introduced to the artists who had recorded the soundtrack to "Roots" and numerous other artists. He worked in the support, presentation, studio work and tours of these gifted cultural artists. The SF north bay became his next home. There Randy lived on a ranch, taught and eventually produced concerts. These concerts led to the establishment of pow wows. More shows continued on behalf of an active movement to build community and legalize marijuana. Randy helped in author California’s Proposition 215, the “Compassionate Use Act” of November 1996 where cannabis’ transition from criminalization statute to health and safety code was formulated. This view of medical cannabis law has spread to 22 states, the District of Columbia, plus numerous countries in Europe and worldwide. In 2004 a massive stroke, which he miraculously survived, limited his physical body but left his mind as sharp as ever. He says the stroke brought him into an "Observer and Solutionist", where he focuses his energies on healing and into finding what is really important in life. Ever the optimist, he calls on his generation of this altruistic spirit, now the elders on this small planet, to assert their response-ability and inherent duty to act via teaching the youth the truth.
