Hotep! My vision for the Electronic Village is simple. I want you to feel that you have entered a warm and welcoming enclave where you can rest for a moment under our baobob tr
ee and share libations with fellow villagers. Just relax for a moment in your hectic surfing through cyberspace ... relax and enjoy the vibe of our Electronic Village.
We hope that our voice is a worthy one in the blogosphere. The Electronic Village strives to share information that uplifts people of African descent throughout the diaspora. There are a number of ways that you can hear our drumbeat in a timely manner. However, we realize that it is your drumbeat that makes us better. Please comment freely on any post that you read here in the Electronic Village.
If you have any questions, or want to promote your blog then you can do this here! Just leave a 'comment' to this post.

Trust me when I say that your Electronic Village is more than worthy in the blogosphere. It truly is a great place to refuel the mind.
Beany Lion of the Desert informs me that Electronic Village translates to "Wioska elektroniczna" in Poland. Just another little known Village factoid!
I just want to add that we are all people of African descent. Once that is truly realized and honored only then can we look to all the Earth's people's as family. Sometimes I think that way, way, way back in our collective development a shift occurred where some looked to our ancestors and those who still resemble them as a part of a backward past. Realizing and honoring our beginnings both historically and in our personal lives allows us to reach higher aspirations in the future.
The Village is a place for growth and unity with and within all cultures. Once that unity is recognized globally by all people, heaven shall really be upon us. Wayne you are the facilitator allowing such a future to be.
Hi everybody! This is a great idea Villager. Love your blog.
Yes, worthy, worthy, worthy...
Village:
Thanks for showing my blog page some love. I appreciate it.
The Village is a place of comfort and knowledge. You should be commended on this blog and always keep facilitating thought.

Danielle - You are OV -- original villager! I'm very grateful to you for your inspiration and support.

I just joined here to make comments. I registered a few days ago when the ordeal of the Jena 6 was brought to my attention. As soon as I read the story I sent a fax to the Governor of Louisiana, blistering her for not standing up for these kids, and for her apparent unconcern for the problem of racism.
Now this morning I got an email about the red truck with nooses. I was glad to see the boys were arrested.
I'd like to give you all a little bit of my background and what kind of person I am before I go any further.
I was born in 1958 and was raised in the south. I've seen racism first hand all my life. It ain't pretty in fact it makes me sick to my stomach. I have never understood the mentality of a racist. How can you judge a entire race of people because of the color of their skin ? I say judge because the word seems to fit here.
Like the old saying "you can't judge a book by it's cover". All my life every person I've met I have either liked or disliked them on who they are individualy. I am a Christian and as such I view the entire world as God's people. The good and the bad.
I have spent my life working and trying to save a little money. I vote because I have that right, and I know that my right to vote was earned by my ancestors in fact the fight was for recognition that I am not chattel nobody owns me.
Up until January of this year I voted for the lesser of two evils and let it go at that. Trusting that there were enough Christian leaders and groups to make sure the government was doing right by the people. After January I have become a full fledged activist. I am mad as hell and I ain't going to take it anymore. I've learned more than enough about our corruption in government to make me want to give it up and go back to where I was before Jan. 2007. Some days are so discouraging I just have to take time away from the fight. Then I think of our American soldiers, past and present I'm sure they have days like that too, difference is they don't have the option of taking a day off when it gets too much to stand.
What got to me so much to make me mad as hell ? One thing, and from there one thing after another on a daily basis.
That one first thing ? A situation similar to the Jena six. Only one similarity though and that was two men arrested, when a three day suspension would have been too much but acceptable. These two men were unjustly tried and convicted to serve 10 and 11 years in prison. They have to serve in solitary confinement for their own protection. One of them was put into the general population with the warden and guards well aware that was putting his life in danger. It was not a matter of if but when he would be attacked by the other prisoners. When he was attacked they beat him so badly he still is having problems with his health. Both these men are Hispanic, guess who beat the one ? A group of Hispanics. Why ? Because he was a former Border Patrol Officer by the name of Ignacio Ramos. His fellow officer also cnvicted Jose Compean.
Over the months since January there have been several more arrests of Border Patrol Officers. All of them on BS charges !
The President of this country could have stepped up to the plate just like the sorry Louisiana governor could and demanded true justice. But no neither of them care enough about right and wrong to lift one finger to help.
I don't know about yall but I think that all the people in this country legally had better start uniting as Americans. The more divided we are the easier it makes it for the corrupt government to sell us out. Make no mistake that is literaly what is happening. If we don't unite and I mean fast there won't be anything left to fight for and what is left we will not be able to fight for it because we will be living in a country controlled by the United Nations. There are many Americans who refuse to acknowledge the truth they would rather go to work come home and sit in front of the TV watching the mind numbing sitcoms, listening to the biased media (which they also refuse to believe is biased). The recent summit in Canada with our president, Mexicos "president" and Canadas Prime Minister ? this is not the first time the leaders of these three countrys have gotten together to discuss the Security and Prosperity Partnership of a North American Union. It is however the first to recieve national attention and outrage. People are slowly finding out that the concept of a One World government is not just some weird conspiracy theory. All three leaders when questioned about what they discussed laughed at us and said "what are you so upset about, we are only discussing the import of jelly beans and chocolate" All three deny they are planning on combining our three countrys into one big country.
Is this what you want ? I sure don't. America ain't perfect by a long shot but it is OUR'S damnit. It is a sovereign country one nation under God.
The government has done it's best to take our christianity away by not defending it. Now it is okay for a Muslim child in a public school (in some states) to roll out the prayer mat several times a day But Christians ? OH NO prayer in school was outlawed when I was in sixth grade.
Okay I've ranted enough for this one time and it may very well be my last because I have waited unto the very end of my post to tell you I am white and female (thus the previous mentioned fight of my ancestors (women) to be recognised as individuals and not chatell) If you don't want me here just say so and I wont be back. But I will continue to fight for right over wrong no matter where or who.
)O'Malley - Welcome! I hope you will come back often to share your thoughts on the various topics that we discuss. Our Electronic Village is open to anyone regardless of race, national origin, color or gender. I look forward to seeing you again in the future!
btw, I appreciate your story as well. Never judge a book by its cover!
I am so glad to hear your voice! Visit my blog - Changing Perspectives-www.elizabetheames.blogspot.com for news from the Dominican Republic and Haiti. Abrazos -
Babette - Asante sana for your kind words. I'm heading over to your Changing Perspectives blog right now!
Greetings all, I'm Darla and I run a mobile technology weblog at darlamack.blogs.com. What's unique and somewhat crazy about this is that there are limited few African American's, let alone females in this type of mobile industry, so that makes me the only one (that I'm aware of). It gets a bit frustrating at times trying to keep up with the 'big boys' but I've pulled my wait for almost 4 years now.
I'm married with 3 boys and they think their mom is "techy cool". Lol my 8 years old calls me that.
Darla - You are very unique ad "techy cool" ... and we are grateful to you for sharing your village voice with us whenever you have time or inclination!

I wasn't sure who to send this but I thought this was as good a place as any to post this exciting conference on Digital Humanities and African American/African Diaspora Studies! Abdul Alkalimat, Alexander Weheliye and DJ Spooky set to speak!
Call for Posters and Demonstrations
Digital Humanities and African American/African Diaspora Studies Conference
University of Maryland, College Park May 2-3, 2008
URL: http://www.mith2.umd.edu/diaspora2008
The Digital Humanities and African American/African Diaspora Studies
Conference is issuing a call for posters that highlight digital
humanities projects, tools or techniques or work in progress as they
relate to the themes of the conference. We especially encourage
submissions from independent scholars and scholars associated with
academic institutions. Posters may include a demonstration,
traditional printed poster, or a combination of both. Wireless
internet access will be available at the poster venue.
Short abstracts (250-500 words) should be submitted to Neil Fraistat
at fraistat@umd.edu by 6 p.m. on February 25, 2008. The proposals will
be reviewed by the planning committee and successful applicants will
be notified by March 10, 2008. The poster session will take place on
the afternoon of May 3, 2008.
This conference will address the increasing centrality of digitization
to the archiving of materials, as well as the growth of digital
technology in the teaching, scholarship and artistic production in the
field of African American/African Diaspora Studies. The conference is
a collaboration involving the African American/African Diaspora Area
Group of the English Department, the Maryland Institute for Technology
in the Humanities (MITH), and the School of Architecture, Planning &
Preservation, as well as other faculty and students from the College
of Arts and Humanities (ARHU) and the College of Behavioral and Social
Sciences (BSOS).
The conference, the first of its kind, will bring together
approximately 150 national and international scholars, high school and
middle school teachers, artists, students and attendees to discuss a
growing body of work that has not as yet benefited from an organized
forum that would allow practitioners to meet one another not only to
discuss on-going projects, but also to debate the theoretical,
methodological, and pedagogical issues raised by the intersection of
the fields of Digital Humanities and African American/African Diaspora
Studies. As the field of African American/African Diaspora Studies can
benefit from a thoughtful consideration of the application of new
media tools, so, too, can the field of digital humanities benefit from
a focused discussion of scholarship informed by critical race studies.
The program will begin on May 1st and 2nd with hands-on workshops,
including one sponsored by the TEI Consortium and funded by the NEH,
which will provide a practical introduction to text encoding and
another that will focus on navigating online resources in African
American and African Diaspora Studies. The workshops will be followed
by a panel showcasing work by scholars in the field of African
American/African Diaspora Studies that address and/or make use of
digital technologies and new media. The chair and the respondents will
be University of Maryland graduate students. The keynote address by
Abdul Alkalimat (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) will be
followed by a reception and the presentation of a multi-media art
installation. The last day will be taken up by panels and seminars,
one of which will be geared toward middle and high school teachers;
digital "poster" sessions, using laptops, to introduce projects by
students, faculty and independent scholars; and a closing multi-media
performance. Confirmed participants include Abdul Alkalimat, Howard
Dodson, Anna Everett, Jerome Handler, Paul D. Miller (AKA DJ Spooky),
Alexander Weheliye, and Pamela Z.
