Today, Patrice Lumumba was born. The man who led Congo to independence. Because he wanted his country free from Belgium and western allies, he was attacked and killed in a firing squad, hacked into pieces and dissolved into acid. He died fighting.

Happy Birthday to Patrice Lumumba, the first legally elected prime minister of D.R Congo.

He was assassinated in 1961 following a military coup supported by U.S.A & Belgian imperialism which was admitted by the State Dept in 2013 authorized by president Eisenhower.

The Zulu Kingdom sometimes referred to as the Zulu Empire or the Kingdom of Zululand, was a monarchy in Southern Africa that extended along the coast of the Indian Ocean from the Tugela River in the south to Pongola River in the north

The kingdom grew to dominate much of what is today KwaZulu-Natal and Southern Africa. In 1879, the British Empire invaded, beginning the Anglo-Zulu War. After an initial Zulu victory at the Battle of Isandlwana in January, the British Army regrouped and defeated the Zulus in July during the Battle of Ulundi. The area was absorbed into the Colony of Natal and later became part of the Union of South Africa.

During Shaka reign, he initiated many military, social, cultural and political reforms, forming a well-organized and centralised Zulu state. The most important reforms involved the transformation of the army, through the innovative tactics and weapons, and a showdown with the spiritual leadership.

Another important reform integrated defeated clans into the Zulu, on a basis of full equality, with promotions in the army and civil service becoming a matter of merit rather than due to circumstances of birth.

“One primary aim of the fascist arrangement is to extend and develop this new pig class, to degenerate and diffuse working-class consciousness with a psycho-social appeal to man’s herd instincts.” - George Jackson, 1972.

Thomas Sankara never owned a luxury car and would at times ride his bicycle despite being president of Burkina Faso. His ministers and public servants also never owned luxury cars and often travelled in economy class.

GOOD EVENING AFRIKAN FAMILY!
We envision another world; one where humanitarianism is genetic to all institutions. One where our heritage is naturally accepted as binding all Afrikan's together and one where Family is assumed to be multi-circular. This envisioned world is Afrikan!

As we "Spring Forward" this weekend and await the return of what the Ancients termed the "Triumphant Hero", lets keep in mind what it means.

The Sun in all of its "Glory" is approaching the Equator to "Pass Over" and bring life back to our side of the Planet.

: "A journalist asked me 'What is Black people's greatest contribution to America?'

Our greatest contribution has been working to civilize America. We know who we are & that we're equal to everybody. 'Whites' don't know it; and still have to be taught this! [KWAMÉ TURÉ]"
