Dr. Umar Johnson, psychologist and self‑styled “Prince of Pan‑Afrikanism,” has weathered a whirlwind of controversy. However, his Frederick Douglass & Marcus Garvey Academy (FDMG) just suffered another setback. This blow could redefine his legacy and that isn’t good. On June 14, he alleges vandals struck the interior of the school’s building, smashing through a 5,000‑book library. They also reportedly sabotaged the cultural artifacts and educational supplies, though the structure remains.
Dr. Umar has been pushing this school for well over a decade. At first, he announced plans to convert a former Saint Paul’s College campus into FDMG. He was going to launch in 2026, but in Wilmington, Delaware. He was going to take the Moyer Academy and make it the FDMG.
Well, this is sad. Rev. Maurice J. Moyer (August 8, 1918 – March 6, 2012) was a Civil Rights legend, who marched with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He started Delaware’s first black Presbyterian church. Now, it feels like his legacy is wrapped up in this.
Dr. Umar needs to follow in the footsteps of Rev. Moyer. In 2023, he blamed “ninjas” and asked the local community for patience and financial support. They have done that over the years, but at this point, people have to wonder where the money went. When you look at the video below, there’s compelling information and evidence to support this is real. Check it.
Beyond the latest setback, there’s a pattern. Delawareblack.com is heavy on the case. Check them out.
Skeptics are winning right now. Platforms like RationalWiki say Dr. Umar is full of it and they have a whole page devoted to him. With years of delay, they have plenty of ammo as they continue to lick off shots. So does Dr. Umar Johnson come out of this as a visionary and educator or will it all be a big grift?
