TCXPI It Is Written In Stone - Our True Black History


It is said that Africans/Blacks are the First people of earth. 

When we think of Egypt, we think of the beginning of time. We think of the beginning of world and human civilization. We think of Ancient African civilization.

Research shows that Egyptians were people of North Africa, of Nubia and Kush. 

Apparently, the impression given by some Western scholars that the African continent made little or no contributions to civilization, and that its people are naturally primitive has, unfortunately, become the basis of racial prejudice and negative perception directed against all people of African origin. 

TCXPI will use the month of February to celebrate and honor Ancient African civilization and the ANKHcestors who contributed to World and Human civilization.

We Remember Dr. Carter G. Woodson and Black History Week/Month





The Father of Black History Month, Dr. Carter G. Woodson, was born in 1875 near New Canton, VA. He was the son of former slaves. In 1907, he obtained his BA degree from the University of Chicago. In 1912, he received his PhD from Harvard University.

In 1915, he and friends established the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History. A year later, the Journal of Negro History, began quarterly publication. In 1926, 
Dr. Woodson proposed and launched the annual February observance of "Negro History Week," which became "Black History Month" in 1976. It is said that he chose February for the observance because February 12th was Abraham Lincoln’s birthday and February 14th was the accepted birthday of Frederick Douglass.

Dr. Woodson was the founder of Associated Publishers, the founder and editor of the Negro History Bulletin, and the author of more than 30 books. His best known publication is The Mis-Education of the Negro, originally published in 1933 and still pertinent today.

He died in 1950, but Dr. Woodson’s scholarly legacy goes on.

TCXPI Education Fund



TCXPI Education Fund still needs your support.


THE CHILDREN NEED YOUR SUPPORT!



ABOUT TCXPI
The Chinue X Project, Inc, TCXPI, is an Afrocentric Educational Resource Service has been established a 501(c)3 non-profit that brings awareness, through facilitated education, to Black History. American History that continues to be omitted in the nation's educational system.


TCXPI is honored to introduce to young scholars and others who seek to learn, of the many contributions made by Black People since the beginning of time to World and Human Civilization.


TCXPI believes that when Black children are centered in education that reflects their heritage and culture they can hold a sense of Self-Pride. When a Black child is taught history that reflects who they are in this world - history that looks like them, that speaks like them, that moves like them, that is them, they begin to possess Self-Worth, Self-Love, and Self-Respect. With these qualities, I believe, a child will become eager to learn while viewing themselves in the learning process.


TCXPI PROJECTS:
TCXPI Afrocentric Young Scholars Program (2016)
TCXPI First Annual BackPack GiveAway (2017)
TCXPI Volunteer, Accra Ghana (2018)
TCXPI Black History Flashcards (2017-18)

Rest In Peace Mr. Dick Gregory

"My personal experience of meeting Mr. Gregory is when I lived in DC. I volunteered to work at the 50th Anniversary of the March On Washington. My assignment was to assist the attendees of the event. I remember a taxi pulled and a man got out. As I looked I could see it was Mr. Gregory. I greeted him and told him it was an honor. He had a very humble demeanor. He wasn't arrogant nor rude. I saw others, but this interaction stayed with me." Chinue X



Dick Gregory, comedian, actor, and civil rights activist, was born Richard Claxton Gregory in 1932 in St. Louis, Missouri.  Gregory's father left the family when Gregory was a child forcing his mother, Lucille, a maid, to raise him and his five siblings.  During his high school years Gregory joined the track team at Sumner High School and broke several school records.  He consequently won a track scholarship to Southern Illinois University in 1951.  

Around 1953, Gregory’s mother died and he left college.  He was drafted into the Army, where he performed as a comedian and won his first talent show.  Three years after leaving the Army, Gregory made his name as a comedian in Chicago nightclubs while living with his brother Presley.  In 1959, he married Lillian Smith and together they had ten children.

In 1960, Gregory accepted Hugh Hefner’s invitation to perform for a group of white Southerners at Chicago’s Playboy Lounge. The gig turned into a six-week commitment and he received positive reviews in national publications such as Time magazine.  The job helped Gregory become one of the first black comedians to successfully perform in major all-white nightclubs. Through programs such as the Jack Paar Show, he became one of the first black comedians to break through to national white television audiences.  His humor often addressed the contemporary issues of segregation and racism which were being brought to the national spotlight by the civil rights movement.  During this time Gregory increasingly devoted his humor to the civil rights cause.  Between 1961 and 1964 he released In Living Black and White, Dick Gregory Talks Turkey, The Two Sides of Dick Gregory, and Running for President.

In the early 1960s, Gregory befriended Civil Rights activist Medgar Evers and went to Mississippi to march for black voting rights. After Evers’ 1963 murder, Gregory gave up performing full-time to become more involved in the Civil Rights movement.  He marched with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and other civil rights leaders.  He flew to Moscow, USSR to protest Soviet treatment of black soldiers in 1964.  In 1967, Gregory ran for mayor in Chicago, but lost to Richard J. Daley.  He then organized a failed bid for the presidency in 1968. 

In the early 1970s, Gregory expanded his focus to world hunger and healthy nutrition.  He moved his family to Plymouth, Massachusetts where he became a vegetarian and started running marathons.  Gregory also fasted to draw attention to national and international causes such as racial injustice, the war in Vietnam, world hunger, the treatment of Native Americans, and apartheid.

Over the next three decades, Gregory became a popular speaker on civil and human rights at universities and colleges.  He hosted his own Washington D.C. radio show and wrote several books, including Nigger, Up From Nigger, No More Lies, and Callus on My Soul. He also developed and sold a diet drink.  Late in life, he still performed comedy at St. Louis and New York clubs.  His latest work is Dick Gregory 21st Century “State of the Union.”

Dick Gregory died of heart failure in Washington, D.C. on August 19, 2017. He was 84.
