During special festivals like Timket and the Ethiopian Orthodox Christmas, devotees and priests engage in a very colorful procession displaying crowns and sacred crosses. In the video to your left the priests are dressed in their respective regalia at the Timket festival in Lalibela. These splendid processions are known for their music and chanting from sacred texts. If you want to experience true Christianity in a pure form, you must join us as we take our Winter pilgrimage to Ethiopia, December 27, 2008 to January 5, 2009. |

Ebonics and Language Education of African Ancestry Students
|
|
This work comes at a time when people of African ancestry, particularly those in the Diaspora, are experiencing an important re-examination of self in relationship to their geographical space and origin. The most recent African language, Ebonics, captures the unmistakable and substantial evidence of this inquiry, while connecting itself to the African family of languages as far back as one of the most ancient ones, Medew Netjer. Ebonics and Language Education of African Ancestry Students examines the political, linguistic, cultural and social history of African people with the expressed intention to place the reader in the authentic context of the development of Ebonics. |
