Sacred Village of Sankofa Youth Study Session (12/13/09)

Each of the youth in SVOS selected a symbol that best represents their aspirations or goals and will use that symbol in future assignments. The Group facilitator (Abdur Rahman) also discussed the importance of community and the role of both the youth and the entire family unit in its development. The Group Facilitator (Ya'qub Shabazz) taught on the life and times of brother Malcolm X as well as his political positions as it applies to the differences between Civil Rights and Human Rights. One of the youth from SVOS (Briana Allen aged 14)gave a brilliant demonstration and chronological history of the life and times of brother Malcolm (El Hajj Malik Shabazz) starting with his childhood and upbringing, to his years in the Nation of Islam, to his time as an international Human Rights activist. Once again the SVOS youth had a fruitfull session.
