AFRIKAN LIBERATION DAY 2006

AFRIKAN LIBERATION DAY 2006, it is the 21st CENTURY, yet Afrikans the world over are still confronted with the stark reality that we are no closer to achieving LIBERTY.

Our Sisters & Brothers in other parts of this world are sadly still fettered by CHATTEL SLAVERY, POVERTY, FAMILY FEUDS, plus the burden of Structural Adjustment Policies dictated by the new colonizers: multi-lateral financial lending agencies. While sadly rising levels of FUNCTIONAL and CULTURAL ILLITERACY persist even among our people resident in the so-called civilized industrialized developed territories of Europe and the Americas.

AFRIKAN LIBERATION DAY 25th May permits us to soberly reflect and celebrate our unique survival as a dignified people and plan for the FUTURE we WANT to bequeath to our little ones. It is a period we should also creatively use to redefine our HOPES, GOALS, and ASPIRATIONS, while at the same time seek to truly understand the plight of our people throughout the Diaspora and the Motherland.

Though it is pertinent to celebrate the fact of cultural diversity across the Diaspora, NO ONE can negate the pertinence of celebrating the contribution of Afrikans to World Civilization.

WE CELEBRATE THE EFFORTS OF OUR ANCESTORS WHO HAVE SERVED THE VISION

WE POUR LIBATIONS...ase
