Mis-Education of the Negro. 38 Like Woodson, the YouTube radicals have attempted <strong>to</strong><br />

counter what they consider a dis<strong>to</strong>rted education system by creating their own online<br />

and in-person education systems that include, but are not limited <strong>to</strong>, the following:<br />

Aboriginal Medical Association and University (Atlanta, Georgia)<br />

Amen Ra Squad University (Online)<br />

Black <strong>Liberation</strong> Radio (Online)<br />

<strong>The</strong> Black Business School (Online)<br />

Huey P. New<strong>to</strong>n Gun Club (Dallas, Texas)<br />

Meta Center of Chicago (Chicago, Illinois)<br />

Moorish School of Law and His<strong>to</strong>ry (Baltimore, Maryland)<br />

Muhammad University of Islam (Chicago, Illinois)<br />

Queen Aufa Sacred Wellness University (New York, New York)<br />

Shabazz University (Online)<br />

University of Kemetian Science (DeLand, Florida)<br />

Unlearn <strong>to</strong> Relearn Academy (Atlanta, Georgia)<br />

Usha Herbal Research Institute (Honduras).<br />

<strong>The</strong> formation of these Black-owned and -created educational institutions reflect the<br />

Black Conscious Community’s attempts <strong>to</strong> combine Black <strong>Liberation</strong> Religion and<br />

Spirituality, Black Nationalism, Pan-<strong>African</strong>ism, Afrocentricity, and other Black Conscious<br />

schools of thought <strong>to</strong> achieve their goal of using the internet <strong>to</strong> spur a Black revolution<br />

or transformation of the mental and physical reality of Black people through alternative<br />

or outside of the mainstream measures. Black Conscious books<strong>to</strong>res such as Black and<br />

Nobel (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania), Black <strong>to</strong> the Basics Books<strong>to</strong>re (Grambling,<br />

Louisiana), Everyone’s Place (Baltimore, Maryland), and Nubian Books<strong>to</strong>re (Morrow,<br />

Georgia) aid the Black radical cause by providing materials necessary for Black-centered<br />

activities. <strong>The</strong> purposeful avoidance of typical academic establishments, along with the<br />

creation of Black Conscious educational institutions is often considered radical, drastic,<br />
