ABOUT THIS EPISODE
As we enter the third week of Black August, our annual Kemet [Ancient Egypt] Study Tour concludes as debates on the changing nature and process of formal education continue in the US. Our work of “Jailbreaking the Black University” offers a clear contrast to current academic discussions on the nature and potential of HBCUs. The Kemet Study Tour is an immersive space that centers inward-focused intergenerational study, reflection and exchange that empties into the beginning of the formal school year. Dr. Asa G. Hilliard III [Nana Baffour Amankwatia II]’s Sebayt [teaching] reminds us that doing what we want each other to know is the best form of teaching. This model places “back to school” in its proper context. Summer should not bring a pause in education. Instead, it offers unobstructed opportunities to practice a recentering of what should be our regular learning cycle. Jailbreaking the learning ecosystem allows us to bypass familiar institutional gatekeeping through centering community education, re-situating institutional learning spaces, including HBCUs, in order to interface with them in active feedback loops, creating the potential for dynamic, living and learning.
