“Preparedness for the Black Family: Keys to our Survival”

A Series of Survival Classes for the Entire Black Family

Philadelphia, PA (BlackNews.com) — How will the Black Community respond to the next major catastrophe? It’s not if it will happen, but rather when and how well they prepare themselves! If they had basic training in certain areas, how many Katrina victims might have lived? If they had basic training in certain areas, how many Black Men and Women of Haiti might have been saved? The Black Family can not standby and not at least attempt to prepare.

Today, Black people lack basic skills when it comes to: growing their own food; making their own clothing; providing medical assistance to their injured; building a roof over their heads; and protecting themselves and their families from danger. That’s why the Khildren of Southampton (KOS) have gathered members of the Black Community that specialize in these areas to provide the Black Family with basic instruction that they can begin to implement NOW! Arming themselves with these essential skills will prove invaluable to the survival of the Black Family!

As the late great, Dr. Amos Wilson challenged:

“I think it is vital that we understand that the major function of education is to secure the survival of a people…it is going to take a different kind of thinking style, a different approach to human relations to get us out of this quandary the european has put us in. And it is going to require a different kind of education than what is available today.” – Awakening the Natural Genius of Black Children (Wilson)

In response to Dr. Amos Wilson’s challenge, the grassroots organization, The Khildren of Southampton (KOS) has designed their 2011 School of Re-Afrikanization (SOR) courses around preparing the Black Family for survival. Their first class will take place on Saturday, April 9th at 12 noon and will cover FOOD basics. They will explore how to start your own home garden, canning, and what essential food items to have stocked at all times.

Following their initial class on Saturday, April 9th, every two weeks thereafter (thru June 18th) they will discuss a different aspect of preparedness. Topics include: CLOTHING, FIRST AID, SHELTER, and SELF-DEFENSE (both weaponry & hand-to-hand combat). All classes will be held at the Songhai City Cultural Center, 3117 W. Master St., Philadelphia, PA 19121.

The Black Family must prepare for any catastrophe that may occur. It is literally the difference between saving lives or succumbing to death! The Khildren of Southampton (KOS) is an organized movement of conscious Afrikan Nationalists devoted to liberating the mind, body, and spirit of the global Afrikan community.
