BECAUSE OF THE PAINFUL AND UNRESOLVED MEMORIES OF OUR PAST, MANY AFRIKANS IN AMERICA WHO CONTINUE TO ENCOURAGE THEIR SISTERS AND BROTHERS TO REMEMBER THE STRUGGLES OF THEIR ANCESTORS ARE FREQUENTLY TOLD BY OTHERS TO GET OVER SLAVERY AND FORGET THE PAST..... WE MUST BE EVER MINDFUL THAT THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A CULTURE THAT ACHIEVED GREATNESS BY SEPARATING ITSELF FROM IST PAST. HISTORY HAS SHOWN THAT WHEREVER CULTURALLY-CENTERED PEOPLE TRAVELED THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, THEY KNEW THAT THE RETENTION OF THEIR LANGUAGE, CULTURE, PHILOSOPHY, LAWS, AND GOD CONCEPTS WERE ESSENTIAL TO THEIR SURVIVAL...... NO SANE PEOPLE WILLINGLY TURN THEIR BACKS ON THE PAST..... IT IS ONLY BY FACING YOUR PAST THAT YOU CAN ACCURATELY PERCEIVE REALITY AND DETERMINE YOUR DESTINY. REALITY IS A PATHWAY TO THE FUTURE, BUT IF THAT PATHWAY BECOMES BLOCKED OR IS OBSCURED, THEN ONE IS DESTINED TO WONDER AIMLESSLY UNTIL THE OLD PATHWAY IS FOUND OR A NEW ONE IS FORGED. AFRIKANS IN AMERICA CANNOT EXPECT TO HAVE A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE IF WE BELIEVE WE ARE SOMETHING THAT NEVER EXISTED. - ANTHONY T. BROWDER- #KINGOFFTHEBOARD #LIVINGOUTSIDEOFTHE64SQUARES
