OUR SANKOFA JOURNEY TO KUJICHAGULIA ~ SELF-DETERMINATION
“The economic philosophy of black nationalism only means that our people need to be re-educated into the importance of controlling the economy of the community in which we live, which means that we won't have to constantly be involved in picketing and boycotting other people in other communities in order to get jobs” Malcolm X
WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM OUR ANCESTORS ABOUT SELF DETERMINATION AS A NATION?
“Our success educationally, industrially and politically is based upon the protection of a nation founded by ourselves. And the nation can be nowhere else but in Africa” Hon. Marcus Mosiah Garvey
“The core and fundamental quality of our self-determination, reaffirms our right and responsibility to exist as a people, to speak our own special truth to the world and to make our own contribution to the forward flow of human history. To do the opposite is immoral; to do less is dishonorable and ultimately self-destructive”
Molefi Asante, The Afrocentric Ideal, Philadelphia: Temple University Press, 1987
In this session we’ll be building on the progression of Self-determination as it shifts from the individual to the community and into the Afrikan nation as a whole.
Thank you to all who joined us for this virtual series on Self-determination. We will be hosting an in person gathering of supporters, friends and alumni, on Saturday May 6th at Tropicana Community Services. More details to follow
