Week 7: Progress

My progress for this week is called "Looney Geographics." I came across the magazine National Geographic in 2009 about their being proof that for a period of time the Pharaohs were actually black. Now this rubbed me the wrong way because in Egypt the Pharaohs have always been apart of Africa they have always been black. It is a disgrace to think other wise which contributes a lot to why most young people don't know African history. Our history has been hidden for so long that we don't even really know who we are as people of African descent. Now what we do know is what many children's cartoons like the Looney toons have taught us is that black people were nothing more than big lipped ignorant people. From these cartoons black generations have been taught that they are lay and that the only thing Africa was was just a black whole of sorts. So what I wanted to do was combine the two as both a comic source and academic source for the evidence that further perpetuates the plight of black youth.
