	Know Your Black History
		Nzingha's rise to power occurred during the early 17th century in the kingdom of Ndongo, which is now the present day country of Angola, in South West Africa.
		Nzingha was well aware that the Portuguese used Black soldiers to fight their wars for them, and so she undertook a carefully organized attempt to infiltrate and destroy this use of Black soldiers by Europeans.
		In 1626, Nzingha's stronghold in the city of Cuanza was captured, and she was forced to retreat from her country.

		After a year-long battle with Board of Education officials, Yaa Asantewa Nzingha, a junior high school "master drama teacher" who was demoted for telling her students to refer to themselves as Africans—not Americans—is being investigated by the Chancellor's Office of Special Investigations for encouraging the students to participate in a demonstration demanding her reinstatement.
		After last month's demonstration, Nzingha was barred from entering the school "for any reason," and reassigned to the district office pending the outcome of the investigation.
		Every day, Nzingha, who receives a $44,000 yearly salary for her teaching position, reports to, in her words, "a poorly ventilated room" in the basement of the district office where she sits idly from 8:40 a.m.

		I had problems carrying Nzingha when I was pregnant with her, and she was born five weeks early. She had a low heart rate and other problems that placed her in the intensive care unit after her birth for three days.
		When Nzingha was almost four, I took her to the emergency room with an especially bad asthma attack. They told me her condition was so bad that if I had arrived just five minutes later, she probably would have died. A nurse pulled me aside and told me, “you’re killing her with your cigarettes.”
		I kept seeing Nzingha’s face and I knew I had to do it for her and for Nijell. I had the help of a wonderful doctor – Dr. Arthur Hoffman – who worked with me and taught me breathing techniques. He taught me how to relax and how to resist the urge to smoke.

		Nzingha was a very ambitious woman and some historians claim that she poisoned her brother so that she could take his throne, while others say that the story was made up to discerdit her.
		Not only was Nzingha able to keep her people free from slavery by the Portuguese, but she also tried to expand her kingdom by declaring that every slave who escaped to Ndongo would be free.
		After Nzingha's death at age 81, the Jaga people finally fell into the hands of the Portuguese, and although she is no longer with us in body, she will always be with us in spirit, for Nzingha was one of the many prime examples of the true wit and ability of

		Nzingha, however, ran into trouble because, as Noel writes, she had told fl students to no longer call themselves Americans; they should refer to themselves as Africans.
		So the question is not whether Nzingha has gone against any policy but rather whether she has fully explored, along with her seventh- and eighth-grade students, the ramifications of her instructing them that they are Africans—not Americans.
		Noel writes that after the October demonstration in her support, Nzingha was "barred from entering the school 'for any reason.' " There are other counts made against her—for example, not meeting Board of Education guidelines for the skits she has her students act in, and for also allegedly having problems with attendance and punctuality.

	Internet Book List :: Book Information: Nzingha: Warrior Queen of Matamba, Angola, Africa, 1595
		In present-day Angola, the African queen Nzingha is a cultural hero for her resistance to the Portuguese colonizers and slave traders during her nearly 40-year rule in the early seventeenth century.
		The history is compelling, but forcing it into the Royal Diaries series format, with Nzingha as a 13-year-old telling her story in journal entries, makes for an awkward, confusing narrative.
		In fact, the historical note says that the events fictionalized here took place when Nzingha was 40 and not when she was 13.

		Nzingha of Ndongo emerges as a death defying military strategist, a brilliantly instinctive political tactician and a caretaker of Black people and Black values.
		Nzingha personally headed the armies that attacked Portugal's troops, devised a plan that enabled her soldiers to infiltrate the Portuguese army camps, and declared her territory as free land for each and every Black person who set foot there.
		To Nzingha, every white person in Africa was the enemy of Black People, particularly the missionaries and other practitioners of "religion." To be defeated by Portugal's armies or preachers would have been the biggest insult to Nzingha of Ndongo.
