If you don't know the relationship of people of African descent to America under a white settler colonial society, you won't know the answers to our problems or how Africana Studies, let alone voting can provide solutions - voting or not we must decolonize our history and minds!

It is the revolting paradigm of the victim of a disgusting rape who loves the filthy seed of her rapist and even accepts the rape as the best thing that happened to her.”

Remember the legacy of the MAAFA. It did not just 'happen' and we lost unknown numbers of people. Below are powerful words of truth from our founding President Nana Clarke on the website of The Middle Passage Ceremonies and Port Markers Project (MPCPMP) @MPMarkers -

"Ron Walters was an activist-scholar. If Ron had been a physician or a lawyer, he would have been an activist.

He was an activist before he became a scholar. He became a scholar as a means to carry on activism...and he continued it throughout his life."

Black Panther Party member "Lil" Bobby Hutton was murdered on this day in 1968 by the Oakland Police. He was the first person to join the party, the 1st treasurer, and the 1st member to be murdered by the racist police. Rest in Power.

[Kamau Rashid @KamauRashid]

I have seen many instances of leaders who, having decided to change direction, engaged in a violent evisceration of their own legacies. It is a curious thing to see. While I know that people change their minds about things, what is revealed by such performances of discontinuity?

[Walter Rodney Foundation @RodneyProject]

Walter Rodney was born on this day in 1942, in Georgetown, Guyana. He struggled for his country, for African peoples everywhere, and all oppressed communities.

As he said, "The firmest unity is unity in struggle."

Did You Know That?

On May 28, 1803, in an act of mass resistance against slavery, a group of Igbo slaves revolted, took control of their slave ship, grounded it on an island and rather than submit to slavery, proceeded to march into the water & drown.

Where is Dr. Woodson’s memorial? According to one, it’s his Journal of Negro History. “The ‘Journal’ is indeed the monument to Carter Woodson far more enduring that anything we could possibly conceive as a memorial.” #TriviaTuesday #CarterGWoodson #History #BlackHistory @ASALH
