"Kashim"
Anthony Turpin, aka, Kashim Turpin is a graduate of the University of the Arts
and New York City teacher who used his schoolteacher voice to instruct dance
and general education studies during regular school hours. Turpin is a fellow
alumnus with the late Robert L. Jefferson Sr. Robert L. Jefferson was prominent in the Philadelphia art scene, being instrumental
in many local events, festivals, and exhibitions; including the annual
Clothesline Exhibit in Rittenhouse Square.
Because schools around the country were ordered to shut down, Kashim, Lenwood "Skip" "Hard Rock" Hamilton, the founder and professional wrestling sports star of Soul City Wrestling, (Black Professional Wrestling Federation based out of Philadelphia, Pa), and Van Stone, a daycare teacher and professional cartoonist, teamed up to take the online education class route to help keep school and kids going, Kashim,Hard Rock Hamilton and Stone decided.
Since taking the team up to the
Black media as champions for continued school-age children education two years
ago, Kashim, the professional Dance Class Instructor, has seen his popularity
grow quickly.
Due to the Coronavirus pandemic in
the year 2020, during the month of March the percentage of attendants to
children of school age at home is twice as large as in 2019. This year alone,
thus far, schools have been shut down in all United States with the exception of
2 or 3. due to the virus pandemic.
Turpin is a schoolteacher
specializing in Dance Education. He decided to team up with Van Stone who is also an author, youth action
book and comic strip writer for his own “Heroes of the Last Q” series starring
Superheroes “Agent U7” and Agent Shadai Chiropractra” episodes.
Van
Stone of Philadelphia is a former student of the late Herbert Rogers Jr., a
children's books author.
Rogers
Jr., a graduate of Cheyney State Teacher College, a historically Black
university, and a former principal of Dr. Ethel Allen School, was best known for his educational leadership in the School
District of Philadelphia.
Herb Rogers Jr.'s most cherished
experience was teaching an all-boys class- known as the Boys from room 109-at
the Alain Locke School for their first and second grades in 1963. A full-page
story was dedicated to that experiment in the Philadelphia Inquirer. Rogers
announced a reunion search for the boys in an effort to be reunited with them
as special guest on the Oprah Winfrey talk show. Twenty eight of the 34 boys in
the class graduated from high school, with 16 going on to college.
It just so happen that Van Stone was
one of the room 109 boys who managed to make it through hard times coping with
living below the poverty level, finishing high school at the University City
High School and even going further to college becoming a student at Cheyney
University just like his beloved teacher, mentor and father figure Mr. Rogers
Jr. had done.
An alumnus of Cheyney, Herb Rogers Jr.'s
bold empowerment skills and creative gifts led him to publish two children’s
books that were illustrated by the late Robert L. Jefferson Sr. “Roger Robbie
and the Backward ABC’s” and “Roger Robbie Discovers Dr. J’s Secrets” are works
of the author.
The Roger Robbie identity, a lovable
raccoon character, had been chosen only after both Herb Rogers and Robert L.
Jefferson agreed to use both of their legal names for the character's name
title. Roger, the raccoon's first name, was taken from Herb's last name. And
Robbie, the animal's last name, was borrowed from Jefferson's first name.
Given the fact that both Rogers Jr. and Jefferson Sr. were well aware that a
raccoon is an animal of the wild, pesky and can become defensive if cornered,
nevertheless, the educators choose the raccoon as a symbol of value,
advantageous, and good health because of the animal's uncanny ability to put
family first, to survive against the odds, and to prefer healthy foods for a
good nutritious meal and healthy diet compared to most wild animals. Most of
all though, raccoons are not dangerous to people.
A few other notable Cheyney alumni
that attended the same school as Rogers Jr. are Edward Rudolph "
"Ed" Bradley Jr., best known working on the CBS News television
program 60 Minutes, Jim Vance, journalist and anchor of News4 on WRC-TV in
Washington, D.C., Thaddeus Kirkland, Mayor of Chester, Pennsylvania.
After the search for the boys from
room 109 had ended for Herb Rogers Jr., Van Stone got word about the search and
did eventually catch up with his father figure.
Not long after the two had met
again, Herb Rogers Jr. passed the torch to Stone entrusting him with the
ownership of the Rogers Jr. entire Roger Robbie educational materials
collection. The collection included books and value posters that were created
by the Rogers Jr. and Jefferson team up.
Today, the animal character, is well
known as "Roger Robbie, the Hip-Hop Raccoon." Roger Robbie has been
up graded to keep up with kids’ Pre-K through 12 and modern-day education standard
courses that are in lockstep with those of Community School watch program and
student support activities.
Speaking
of Community School, this is one good reason why Stone created the title of the
watch program, the student and teacher support, as well as bonus assessment
materials for on the web learning.
In
addition to bonus materials for on the web learning presented by Kashim, bonus
physical fitness and mental strength episodes will be demonstrated by Pro
Wrestling Star Linwood "Skip" "Hard Rock" Hamilton, a
Philadelphia native, currently involved in community mentoring and educational
work with youth now assisting students and promoting his own California areas
through Pennsylvania areas save the children format.
Lenwood
"Skip" Hamilton, aka, "Hard Rock" Hamilton is a former star
athlete, (a junior high school and high school football player and basketball
player as well as in track and field) college football championship player with
the North Carolina State's 1979
Atlantic Coast Conference championship football season team who uses his voice to encourage students to believe in a
sense of belonging to something; A positive legend about greatness, winning
very high and loyalty.
Hard Rock furthered
his higher learning attending Southern University, a historically Black
college.
While playing premier
level college sports football at Southern University, Skip Hamilton became
known as one of the "Southern Five" on trial; a notable criminal
trial that got national attention beginning in August 1983.
Two players of the
five were acquitted, two were granted retrials when verdicts couldn't be
reached.
Only Hamilton was
found guilty.
For four months, 16 days, Skip
Hamilton was incarcerated at Orleans Parish Prison. Eventually, in late
February 1984 the prosecution withdrew its charges against Hamilton. Skip
became a free man once again.
Hamilton surpassed the terribly
wrongful imprisonment incident with earning a free agent contract agreement
becoming a Philadelphia Eagles player in 1984 as well as in 1987.
Furthermore, Lenwood Hamilton developed
more unique sports skills combined with acting and wrestling training classes
and then went on to create his own Heavy Weight Champion, "Hard Rock"
Hamilton, professional wrestler and company for family entertainment.
Soon afterwards, Hard Rock Hamilton
launched "Soul City Wrestling," a top Black wrestling company and
group that performed in Philadelphia and surrounding suburbs area, delivered
family-based entertainment void of profanity and racial stereotypes that are
prevalent in many other pro wrestling circuits.
Fast forward to November the 20th,
1999... that was a moment in time when no heavy weight wrestling contender in
any wrestling federation, union, or virus, for that matter, in any state,
-could stand up to or defeat the Hard Rock Hamilton. That year, Hard Rock and
his Soul City Wrestling friends were mentoring school-age kids reminding them
to work hard and stay in class.
Van Stone and educator friends were
also at hard work running the Van Stone Community School at the West Philadelphia
High School located at 48th and Walnut Street.
Being old working buddies together
at the Northern Homes for Children in Roxborough, Pa, Van Stone called on Hard
Rock Hamilton to help team up to promote the first Black Wrestling Union event
ever, for boys, girls, family and friends in the West Philadelphia
neighborhood.
Skip Hard Rock Hamilton answered the
call. More positive Black leadership for school kids took off in Philly thanks
to Hard Rock Hamilton and several other Black and White professional wrestlers.
21 years later, Stone has called on
Hard Rock to support a very important Community School program during these
extreme difficult times for better education opportunities and the Black
community.
Once again Hard Rock agrees to push
the at home school effort that Stone has developed starting with Kashim-
Stone's own son.
Van
Stone is pulling out all the stops adding his adopted son, Kashim Turpin to
help keep kids safe at home and busy learning exciting classroom work and fun
fitness.
