If you're interested in supporting folks who work with African street kids, check out this young man who is doing some awesome work with street children. He grew up on the streets of Brazil but feels a deep connection with Africa, so he travels to South Africa, Sudan, Mozambique, and many other places on the continent to minister to street children. http://www.pastorsidneymc.blogspot.com/ He also wrote a book that he sells to fund his missions - check it out here - you can also watch parts of his documentary on the site: http://www.rescuedtotell.com/ Another great post!

We have done the world and the black community a great disservice over the years by failing to acknowledge Africa's part in this global enterprise. It will require hard work on all our parts over the next fifty years to begin to make a dent into the psyche of the black community. If we make a concerted effort we can accomplish this in a shorter time. However, we must begin to distance ourselves from the self-proclaimed leaders who continue to lead us down a path of self-deception, selfishness, and irresponsibility. Good to read your article. Can you tell me where I may find the article or book by Stern? Thank you. Eddie Thank you for this important information.

Our teaching on this part of history has certainly been Euro-centric not only stealing the people but their own role and responsibility. I've linked.
