Stay In School
,y name is R ukiya W illiam s. I ’ m
thirteen years old, attend W hitaker M id dle School, and I ’ m in the 7th grade.
In m y past years o f school, I d id n ’ t do very w ell. I d id n ’ t try very hard and got
some pretty bad grades in school. I gave up ju st too easy. Then I became very
interested in sports, But my parents w ou ldn ’t let me participate in them
because o f m y grades. But now, I ’ ve changed. I started studying harder and
using m y head more. I now have a 4.0 average. But I look at some kids and
I know that they also could try harder. Everyone wants to be in the “ in
cro w d .” I used to want that too. But I got in a lot o f trouble. But the question
I always ask m yself is, “ W hy do kids drop out o f school?’ ’ Because they
think they’re cool. B ut when they grow up and can’ t fin d a job, it ’ s because
their education wasn’ t good enough. I really think about my future and I think
that other kids should too. School is hard but trying to get a jo b w ithout an
education is harder.

15,000 Black Jews Return ‘Home ;
The Falashas, or Negro Jews o f
Ethiopia, led by Queen Judith, put the
line o f Solomon and the Queen o f S heba
o ff the throne o f Ethiopia in 937 A.D.,
and ruled for forty years. The Falashas
assert that they are the original Jews.
They call themselves “ The Beta-Is-
rael,” or “ The Chosen People.”
W .E.B. DuBois (The W orld And
Africa): In Greek legend, Ethiopia, “ land
o f the burnt faces,” lay either side o f
the Red Sea in A frica and Asia and was
inhabited by black folk. Eventually the
blacks mixed with yellow Asiatics. After
the fifth and fourth centuries B.C. the
term Ethiopia was used usually to des
ignate regions in A frica corresponding
to what we now know as Nubia or the
Egyptian Sudan. The Sudan was known
to the Egyptians and Hebrews as Kash
or Cush. In Hebrew folklore the de
scendants o f Ham “ were Cush and
E g y p t”
Smith (A D ictionary o f the Bible,
1865):
I f we examine the invaluable eth-
nograpy o f Genesis (G en.ix.l8,x.6.15-
20) there would seem to be no reason to
doubt as to the Ham itic origin o f these
tribes...while Ham is the brother o f
Shcm...the Hamites are described as
those who previously occupied the d if
ferent countries into which the Aramaean
races afterwards forced their w ay. Thus
scripture attributes to the race o f Ham
not only the aboriginal population o f
Canaan, w ith its wealthy and civilize d
comm unities on the coast, but also the
m ighty empires o f Babylon and N in
eveh, the rich kingdoms o f Sheba and
Havilah in Arabia Felix, and the w on
derful realm o f Egypt.

ing at the entries that there are
some enthusiastic children and
parents. They’re really behind the
Blazers!”
Five $500 US savings bonds
were awarded as grand prizes. In
about 12 years, the face value o f
each savings bond w ill be $1,000.

line-up” team photograph.
“ W e ’d really like to thank all
o f the parents and fa m ily members
who sent in photographs,” added
Sorensen. “ There was a lo t o f
thought and e ffo rt behind many o f
the photos.
Sentry Supermarkets is a o ffi
cial radio sponsor o f the Portland
T ra il Blazers. There are 68 inde
pendently owned Sentry Supermar
kets serving Oregon, Southwest
Washington and Northern C a lifo r
nia.
The facts above are just a little part
o f the testimony from the most noted
and accepted historians in the field.
The last citation, from Smith, one o f
the most erudite B ibical scholars and
archaeologists o f the “ 19th century” ,
was a white Englishman (W illiam Smith,
L L .D ., Classical Examiner in the U n i
versity o f London and editor o f the
Dictionaries o f Greek and Roman A n
tiquities). This invokes an interesting
commentary. U n til the latter h a lf o f the
century, one finds for the most part, a
rather factual and truthful account o f
A frican presence throughout the an
cient w orld, and o f the ethnicity o f key
actors in the form ation o f civiliza tion
(especially in Europe whose nations
restricted A frican slavery to their colo
nies).
But by the end o f that century there
had developed a vicious process for
RACIST REVISIONISM OF HISTORY
which quickly spread to America. Inter
estingly, it was coincident w ith the
grow ing attacks upon the intellectual
capacities o f darker races; “ I.Q .” -even
upon southern and Slavic Europeans as
demonstrated by the related tightening
o f U.S. Im m igration Codes. This proc
ess had continued u ntil today w ith a
number o f Bibical ‘ scholars’ busy at
producing rewrites and new versions o f
the * Good B o ok” . N ot noticed by many
have been their determined efforts to
conceal or obliterate the predominate
A frican presence by renaming tribes
and languages, and by gerrymaning
geography. Even as late as my youth,
whites consistently patronized older
black men w ith a w hite beard like mine
by addressing them as ‘ * MOS ES ’ ’ -and
we know from our grandparents that
blacks, themselves, named children after
B ibical characters.
Common sense had led them to the
inference that i f only a few hundred
“ Hebrews” were taken into captivity
in A fric a proper, and a fa irly short time
later 12,000 souls departed fo r home in
the Exodus (taking along the Pharaohs
silverware” “ Spoil The Egyptians” )-
then undoubtedly, E V E R Y O N E C O N
C ER N ED W AS B L A C K ! I can s till
remember police investigating burgla
ries in the ghetto, “ I know you niggers
(sic) steal. Y ou made o ff w ith the Phar
aohs’ dinnerware, didn’t you.” Earlier,
you see, there was little doubt as to who
those “ w ooly-headed” prophets,
preachers and warriors were, as w ell as
the knaves you fin d in any race.
W hile we evaluate the preponder
ance o f evidence fo r the early A frican
presence in the “ Semite” lands, wc
should consider some very revealing
aspects o f that “ Dictionary o f the Bible” .
Generally, wherever there is an illu s
tration or description o f a technology
or domestic artifact used in ancient
Israel, it is seen to be A frican in nature
or derivation (Egyptian/Ethiopian /
Sudan). The same is true w ith many
other texts. A classic example is the
famed hand m irrors made in the exact
form o f the Egyptian * * Ankh ’ ’ , symbol
o f life , or the wine presses, or b rick
making, or gold m ining. Then, too,
there arc the standards o f measure
ments like the “ c u b it” , imported d i
rectly from Ethiopia and Egypt (Solo
mons Tcm plc-Noahs’ s A rk).

rod, reed boats, Cush, Candace, etc.
