Some Africana teachings and learnings were also introduced; the word "Sedi", meaning educate in the English language, was a key term of the Africana teachings that was a main focus point. It was also discussed that this lecture examined the contributions of international traditions and teachings and learnings of the African experience. Within our discussion we all uncovered the goals, that are champions to African Deep Thought, these goals are stated as : to recover African Deep Thought from it's historical African background, and to show that such deep thought serves as a basis of what we refer to now as "academic". It was also discussed of how African culture brought about the basic structure of most living civilizations.
