Image from FreeWebs.com There have been countless theories, crazy and somewhat plausible, about exactly what was up in the sixties, with the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., and Bobby Kennedy. Was there some kind of connection? And much of the aftermath, the suspects, the politics of the day. . .it just seems so odd to a person too young to remember it. All of it was history by the time I was old enough to think about it.

Liberation is impossible if we fail to see ourselves in more positive terms. For without a change of vision, we are slaves to the oppressor’s ideas and values—ideas and values that finally attack the very core of our existence. Therefore, we must see the world in terms of our own realities.” Larry Neal , “Black Art and Black Liberation,” 1969 The time is ripe to heed the long-standing, and most often overlooked, calls for Afrikan Unity, Cultural Development, Education and Social Transformation. Such is what RBG most fundamentally represents. Contrary to the prevailing, misinformed assumptions, RBG (Black Nationalism / PanAfrikanism ) as an ... Read Full Story
