Dr Umar Johnson Took Donations for School 7 Years Ago, Still Hasn't Opened (Flashback)

In this VladTV Flashback from 2016, Dr. Umar Johnson offered his thoughts on education and the African American community, as well as his plans to open up his own school.

When asked about why he thinks that education isn’t celebrated in hip-hop, Dr. Umar Johnson told DJ Vlad that an emphasis isn’t put on education in the African American communities in general, especially for boys. He added that he started caring about black history after taking a mandatory class in elementary school, and later learning that he was related to Frederick Douglass during his first family reunion.

During the sit-down, Dr. Johnson revealed that he’s planning to name his residential academy after his famous ancestor, Douglass, and Marcus Garvey.
