Journey to Freedom

Abstract

In my educational journey, I [Greg Wiggan] am still in the first generation of schoolgoers in my immediate family. Globally, in the British colonial system, the British were rather deliberate in denying education to their subjects. This was one of the greatest forms of social control. In this sense, from a very early age I knew that there was something about a true education (as opposed to miseducation) that was powerful and liberating, and that must have been a part of the reason why African descent people where being denied opportunities to learn to read and attend school all around the world.
