- "We are very pleased with the project, which will open up a wide range of opportunities to the university," they said. "Further, we believe that the proposed e-campus will have a lasting impact on Haiti's education system as a whole." [Frederick Humphries], now regent pro fessor at Florida A&M, says the effort grew out of his school's drive to collect donations for Haiti right after the January 2010 quake. He led a small delegation to visit the State University last summer, and afterward Humphries and Dr. Arthur Thomas, program manager at Morgan State, phoned a* number of black college presidents. "All of them wanted to help," Humphries says. Leaders of each consortium expressed a willingness to collaborate. "Where we can make common cause, we'll be very happy to do that," Humphries says. Alix Cantave, associate director of the Trotter Institute at UMass Boston, says such cooperation "makes sense."

- As President of the Institute of the Black World 21st Century (IBW) and Founder of the Haiti Support Project (HSP), I have just returned from leading a team to Haiti to allocate the first contributions from the IBW/HSP Haiti Relief Fund. A total of $56,000 was distributed to nine community-based/grassroots organizations including women's, youth and peasant groups for relief and capacity-building. Deeply concerned about the plight of Haitian children orphaned by the disastrous earthquake, our team also visited orphanages and assessed the progress of the Oasis Institute, an ambitious Initiative which is designed to relocate orphans and extended family members from tent communities to an interim camp with safe/secure environment, post-traumatic stress counseling and a world class education.

- Notes:
- Acc-, After the earthquake, I knew that not much would change in Haiti precisely because of the people's resilience. It was almost like a self-fulfilling prophecy. I knew that people would soon be going about their business as if nothing had happened. That's what scared me most for the future of Haiti. Soon after they could circulate through the rubbles in Haiti, Haitians were walking down the streets to their neighbors, some street merchants, were trying to sell the little bit they had from their businesses, children were still trying to wipe-clean cars for a few half pennies, "tap-taps" were fishing for people, etc. And that was life as they know it. That's life as those who can afford better think the people deserve and that's why not much is being done to make things closer to equality in Haiti.

- Notes:
- A special thanks goes out to evangelist Pat Robertson for illustrating the point of this series with his ignorant-@$$ed commentary on the Haiti earthquake. Notice that Pat is selective about which disasters just happen and which constitute the "judgment of God." Iowa and Florida faced terrible natural disasters with no such pronouncements. When bad things happen to people and areas that reflect Pat's values it's probably the devil. Haiti is supposedly guilty of 'making a pact with Satan' and using the Afrikan-based Voodun spiritual system to gain freedom from enslavement. Interestingly, Pat's god was not offended at all by the Christians who brutally oppressed these people. His god never is offended, especially when the victims are Black.

- N'COBRA insists that the Haitian People be the ones to be entrusted - as an honest, hardworking and brilliant nation that they are - in the whole of the recovery and rebuilding effort in Haiti. No sovereign nation can depend on another for such an effort. While it is true that desperately needed aid to Haiti from all corners of the world is always to be appreciated, we firmly believe that it is up to the People and only the People of Haiti to direct and implement this effort as a resourceful nation to whom Re-parations have been long overdue due based on the past history.
