Any suggestions on how to go about opening a school. Let me know how you or your organization can help.?

With curriculum, staff, resources, space, or simple suggestions. One thing I liked about Marcus Garvey and Booker T. was their ability to organize Black ppl of similar careers or talents into a unit as part of the struggle. Marcus Garvey's idea to nationalize and make those institutions independent was something that needs repeating. Because we are a colony within Amerikkka similar to Puerto Rico with a different set of laws and policies than those that apply to the rest of the US and are drained of resources, we need to centralize. Some of us need to remain employed in their system like the Spook That Sat By the Door, but only to "open the gate" and to bring opportunities and the knowledge back to the community. Others need to launch independent efforts until they can stand on their own. To an extent, this is already happening, but there is work to be done. If you are not an educator, but are of a different talent or career and would like to network, please specify both. We are told we can do it by ourselves, but no other group is doing it alone. They are all buying into the philosophies of Garvey and others since him but for their own group.
