For this episode, we pick from Black Liberation Media - I Mix What I Like - (YouTube) Dr. Jared Ball’s interview with Anthony T. Browder on Religion, Africa and The World. The interview relates to the holiday season - “Christmas." This interview was done about 8 years ago. Browder is an author, publisher, cultural memory restoration specialist, historian, and an educational consultant.

The significance of the discussion of this subject by Browder helps us shift from the Western conception of religion, Christmas and we return to the source - African mythology and spiritual science. After listening to this African perspective to Christmas, our current views of Christmas will change. So much value can be extrapolated from understanding the politics of mythology, symbolism/metaphor and imagery. For the African, says Dr Nana John Henrik Clarke: “To control a people you must first control what they think about themselves and how they regard their history and culture. And when your conqueror makes you ashamed of your culture and your history, he needs no prison walls and no chains to hold you.”
