It is time to review the schedule for the placement of your session in the AAACE Agenda. This is the final draft of the Schedule. When you look up your name, use the detail listing to check what days/times you asked to be placed. This is a huge program and we can accommodate necessary changes in day and time now, but may not be able to do so after September 1, 2013 except in emergencies. Please carefully check your placement and send any requests to Ginger Phillips, AAACE Conference Planner with AAACE Session Change Request in the subject line. We will respond to your email, but it may take us up to a week to do so. Thanks for your help in "fine tuning" this agenda!
John H. Johnson's Re-Education of African Americans Through The Selfethnic Liberatory Nature of Magazines
Type of Presentation
Roundtable Discussion (45 minutes)
Session Abstract
This session will discuss how John H. Johnson, the pioneering publishing magnate of Johnson Publishing Company, re-educated African Americans through the selfethnic liberatory nature of his magazines, EBONY and Jet.
Target Audience
Those who are interested in finding out how John H. Johnson used his pioneering publications, EBONY, a monthly magazine, and Jet, a weekly magazine, as informal ways of teaching to re-educate African Americans, a race of people whose intellectual achievements and contributions in this country were excluded from history.
Learning Outcomes
Learners will see how John H. Johnson dealt with the impact of sociocultural and intellectual racism on African Americans through the use of the media and education. They will also understand how his magazines were educational textbooks, which re-educated a mis-educated race of people.
Session Description
John H. Johnson's use of his publications as modes of informal learning in combating the impact of sociocultural and intellectual racism on African Americans provides a unique interpretive frame that significantly expands our understanding of the intersection of education and the media. This session will address the importance of selfethnic reflectors (Colin 1989), Selfethnic Liberatory Adult Education (Colin 1989) and Africentric Culturally Grounded Programs (Colin 1999), which are two concepts and an educational philosophy which fall within the Africentric Paradigm.
