Book excerpt: Volume 1 of 1, presents Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mechanical (STEM) programs for the next generation that make a difference and travels to its cosmic origins, agenda, and alleged intervention through the ages. The history of our intellectual genius was suppressed and systemically discredited after the Aryan world invasion through African slavery in America and Jim Crow Era. Regardless, black minds continued to contribute to invention and technological progress irrespective of racial barriers by law and custom. Today, in the Age of Trump, these barriers are being systemically reinforced through court decisions rolling back our civil rights, cuts and underfunding of educational programs to develop competitive and great black minds in science, engineering, and other technological fields. Science is under duress by climate change deniers and white identity evangelism. Funding for career and technical education have been cut to facilitate donor-driven tax cuts for the wealthy and overfunded the military industrial complex. The worst cut by the Trump administration may be ensuring that diversity in science education and employment is maintained. Underrepresented minorities are again targets to increased exclusion from opportunities to engage in new discoveries and innovations on a global scale. Despite these efforts to reinforce white supremacy, the legacy of discoveries and inventions by innovators regardless of color, religion, gender, etc., prevail. Many of their accomplishments have been denied recognition. This book gives black contributors to STEM some of the credit they deserve. After recognizing award winning programs to ensure diversity in STEM given by colleges and universities, the book ties the genius displayed to its cosmic origins. Examined is whether the inhabitants of earth are part of the cosmic agenda. The book looks at Dogon legends of contact between their ancestors and extraterrestrials. The Dogon are cited as having taught early Egyptians, referred by inhabitants as Kemet or Land of the Blacks, their advanced civilization. A connection to Anunnaki, one of the Star People, is perused. Archeological evidence of the extraction of uranium ore in South Africa by an advanced civilization over 500,000 years ago is reviewed. The origin of our DNA, language, and civilization is traced to this continent. The connection to Star People from Orion is detailed. Dogon knowledge of String theory and the Big Bang theory is reviewed. Covered is how African hegemony seeded ancient civilization throughout the world, including Asia and the Americas. Included in this volume, is unsung black scientists, like their ancestors, who have made a difference in our society which has been historically hostile to people of color. Many of these groundbreaking inventors broke ground in racially separate society with steep barriers against their intellectual work. Inventors ranged from Thomas Jennings, Henry Blair and Norbert Rillieux through Hidden Figures in the Race for Space and Gerald Anderson Lawson, inventor of the first home game console. Also included i8n this volume is the story of Dr. Charles Drew who is responsible for creating the blood plasma that saved thousands of lives during World War II. These and other significant contributions by African-Americans to our progress is highlighted.
