In 1962, a radical black nationalist organization called the AFROs (Afrikan Foundation for Righteous Out-of-sight Sons) was formed in Cleveland, Ohio. By 1965, the group had caught the attention of both the FBI and the CIA, who recruited a small group of 5 black women [...] welcome to this year’s first official edition of Your Nappy Ass Roots, a series that will bring you little known black history facts that The Man has tried to suppress in an effort to keep us all complacent, misguided, and misinformed. i’m all about teachin the babies; please pass these important facts along to any [...] Telebaptist and Grammy award winner Bobby Jones was born in Henry, Tennessee, in 1939.
