Dr. Umar Johnson: The Message vs. The Messenger

Dr. Umar’s message is clear and concise. His message is pan-Afrikan to the core. For those not familiar, Pan-Africanism is a worldwide intellectual movement that aims to encourage and strengthen bonds of solidarity between all people of African descent. It is based on the belief that unity is vital to economic, social, and political progress and aims to “unify and uplift” people of African descent.

While Umar’s message is Pan-Afrikan in nature, his primary focus is on the miseducation of the Black youth, in particular Black boys. Dr. Johnson rails against the abuses of special education and how the school system uses special ed as a crutch to the detriment of Black boys. He connects ADHD and special ed to the school-to-prison pipeline and instructs parents (for free) how to maneuver the bureaucracy of the American Education System (AES).
