Professor James Small on Rock Newman Show 2.0

On this extraordinary episode of The Rock Newman Show 2.0, we are honored to host the esteemed Professor James Small. With a resume that reads like a testament to a lifetime of scholarly dedication and activism, Professor Small is a true legend in his own right.
As a scholar, activist, dynamic speaker, and organizational consultant, Professor Small's impact spans continents. He holds esteemed positions such as CEO of Sanaa Lodge Enterprise, Ghana, Ltd., CEO & President of African-American Management Company, Ghana, Ltd., and serves as International Vice President of both the Organization of Afro-American Unity (O.A.A.U.) and the World African Diaspora Union (WADU). His involvement in various organizations reflects his commitment to uplifting communities and promoting African heritage worldwide.
Professor Small's journey is intertwined with luminaries of African scholarship, having studied extensively with giants like Dr. John Henrik Clarke, Dr. Yosef A. A. ben Jochannan, and Dr. Leonard Jeffries, among others. His close association with figures such as Ella L. Collins, sister of Malcolm X, speaks volumes about his deep-rooted connection to pivotal moments in African-American history.
From serving as a principal bodyguard to Ella L. Collins to being Imam of Muslim Mosque Inc. (founded by Malcolm X), Professor Small's experiences offer a unique perspective on the civil rights era and the legacy of Malcolm X.
Beyond academia, Professor Small's influence extends to the entertainment industry, where he serves as Chief Historical Consultant for MGM+'s Godfather of Harlem TV movie series, featuring Forest Whitaker. His appearances in documentaries and consultation work further cement his status as a leading authority on African spirituality and history.
In this condensed interview, we dive into Professor Small's insights on African spirituality, his encounters with Malcolm X, his experiences with Ella L. Collins, and his perspective on current events, including the situation in Haiti.
Don't miss this extraordinary edition of The Rock Newman Show 2.0 as we engage in a profound conversation with Professor James Small, a true icon of our time.

    That was very profound! We can "WIN" and reach back to help them, but They can not "WIN" and reach back and help us. Which of the two is truly Superior in the eyes of the True Living God and Goddesses? It is important to know True Knowledge and Truth because We are living in a continuous battle against Ignorance, Deception, and Lies by the people Who claim to be Superior.

So, I ask is there anyway that you can have Tom Burrell come on your show to discuss his book Brainwashed? Thanks Rock, I truly appreciate you! 👏🏿🤲🏿👊🏿⭕️🌞💡🔦🔥💭

    According to the video, Professor James Small argues that what Western societies call spirituality is actually stolen from African cultures. He says that Africans understood the relationship between cosmology and ecology and used that understanding to develop their cultures. Here are the specific points covered in the video: +Western societies stole African spirituality and replaced it with mythology and spookism. +Africans practiced geometry, physics, and trigonometry before Europeans. +African astronomers studied the cosmos to create calendars and advise people on planting and harvesting. +African cultures used symbols from nature to represent complex ideas. +Haiti was the richest colony in America before being invaded by the French. +The United States is involved in the current unrest in Haiti.

    Rock Newman needs to do a DNA test. He is probably way more European than any thing else (Lol). - Moreover, I find it hilarious how James Small, when referring to the Egyptians, always describes them as “we.” It’s incredibly funny! And, in his stories, it seems as though he gives credit for science and just about everything to blacks’ (those who supposedly lived in ancient times). My question is, if they did that themselves, as he infers, why can’t his own do it today. Just about everything is created by other groups, mostly the European one! - I love listening to him though. He makes me laugh and smile musing upon his rendition of history… (Lol)
