Abstract
For the Africans, phenomena are spiritual, mental, and physical and are in relation to themselves and ourselves. The pedagogical journey from African-centeredness to Pan
Africanism is constructively narrated using Critical Race Theory as a theoretical lens. These concepts are in the rebirth after being the genesis and standard of human academic existence from economics, education, entertainment, health, labor, law, politics, religion,
sex, and war (Fully, 2021; Welsing, 1994) prior to the Maafa, known by Euro-American culture and its whiteness (Harris, 1994) as colonialism. The theoretic and thematic
frameworks are constructed to analyze and articulate self-determination leading to healing efforts for the actualization of the proper growth against generational slave traumas
(DeGruy, 2017) and current hegemony. These concepts, African centeredness, and Pan Africanism are pedagogically lived in maroon academic spaces where the expansion of
social and economic growth theories is actualized to fulfill their unalienable rights as United States citizens through learning and teaching for a Pan African life.
