Following is the text of a letter
written by Mba Mbulu and sent to Black Studies chairpersons and
Deans of Undergraduate Studies at 95 of the historically Black
colleges and universities in the United States.
March 23, 2000
My Esteemed Colleague:
Black History and Black Studies programs have become part of the
fabric of higher education in America, particularly in the traditionally
Black colleges and universities. From being barely thinkable only
30 years ago, we now wonder how we considered ourselves educated
without them. Such is the nature of progress.
Now it is time to fill another void, one that especially hinders
the development of Black students. Our Black Studies and Black
consciousness imperatives must recognize the Black nationalist
energy that drove many of Our ancestors. Like Black History, understanding
Black nationalism is crucial to crafting a future that will be
kind to Black People.
With that in mind, I have developed a Black Studies curriculum
that recognizes Black nationalism's role in Our journey. We all
remember how fervently the idea of Black Studies was opposed at
its onset; a Black nationalist curriculum and/or courses will
encounter greater opposition. But an idea whose time has come
must not be deterred.
Aset University is an online (www.asetbooks.com) Black Studies
curriculum that addresses some specific educational needs of Black
People and introduces new courses that are particularly relevant
to Us. I urge you to review them and consider incorporating some
of them into your Black Studies curriculum.
My goal is to find a physical location for Aset University. Until
that time, I will be available to assist you in installing the
program or parts of it at your school. At my web site (www.asetbooks.com),
you can click Mba Mbulu to learn about my 30 years of experience
and qualifications. Additionally, I can be emailed at the above
address or from the web site.
Please think seriously about this matter. Why wait until tomorrow
for others to lead when we can forge ahead today?
Sincerely,
Mba Mbulu
Founder, Aset University
