Message from Teacher Reggie Dear Students, My name is Reginald L. James. The people call me “Brother Reggie.” I was born in Oakland, California in the U.S.A. My mother’s name is Deborah Ann and my father’s name is Anthony Edward. I do not know the original land of my people, society, or socalled “Tribe,” because our ancestors were stolen from Africa. Much our culture was lost, stolen, and strayed. I came to Tanzania to study Swahili at the University of Dar es Salaam. In the U.S., I study Political Science and African American Studes. I’ve worked as a journalist, photographer, salesman, and teacher. My future ambition is to be a lawyer, college professor or teacher. As the child of the lost sons and daughters of Africa, it has been an honor to return “home.” I thank God (Allah) for the opportunity to be your teacher. You, the students of Veternary Primary School, are the highlight of my time here in Africa. You, the children of the Tanzania, are my inspiration. Although I am your English teacher, you have taught me so much more.
You, the future doctors, nurses, entrepreneurs, activists, farmers, teachers, and soldiers, have a duty to pursue your education. The knowledge you gain will improve the lives of your family, your community, your nation, and our world. A wise African farmer and scientist named George Washington Carver once said, “Education is the key to unlock the golden door of freedom.” Your education will not only open doors for yourself, but for your family. Your families have worked hard and made many sacrificies for you to obtain an education. Use it wisely. Education is more than what you read in books, but all that you observe, experience, and analyze. Use your education for a free, just, and prosperous Tanzania, and a united Africa. Continue to work hard. Never give up. Love God, your family, your community, our people. The love for our people starts with you. You are the hope of Africa and the world. We are together always. Call me if you need me. Peace and Love. Your Brother, Teacher Reggie
“ I AM SOMEBODY” I am, Somebody, And I Won’t be Stopped by Nobody I’ve got my Fist in the Air and The Movement in my Feet I’ve got Love for my People, But it Starts With Me –Oakland Freedom School '10 (Veternary Primary School '12)
