AFRICAN AMERICANS - A TRIBE FORGED BY FIRE We Africans in the Americas have our own traditions, festivals and culture, we are indeed a tribe of our own. our traditions were forged by necessity because we are a tribe forged by fire. After being betrayed by our neighbors and sold into slavery we found ourselves in a new land standing alongside other a diverse group of Africans from multiple tribes who spoke so many languages there was confusion. We could not all understand each others language but we knew one thing for sure, we would survive. Yes we have suffered, and yet through all our suffering, hardship, starvation and oppression we have endured and become a mighty people. They outlawed our our language, outlawed our religion, took away our children, our holy leaders had to go underground for centuries. And yet we survived. We will forever resist the many instances of violence, maltreatment, and neglect inflicted upon us African peoples by the citizens of the United States. We forged bonds that have remained unbroken for five hundred years, we are the survivors who have faced the worst crime the world has ever witnessed, we survived the Maafa and have come out the other side, we are still standing and now we are the strongest and wealthiest Africans on earth. We bore the pain for the right to be who we are today, Africans in the Americas have been refined by our captivity and have come out the other side a powerful Nation of Africans and we are not going to surrender our right to self-determination and self-rule to anyone. All whom have conspired against us have failed, we are the mighty nation within a nation. We are the backbone that has created the wealthiest nation on earth, when you see America all you are seeing is our shadow. We are the mighty mighty Africans of America. -MAURICE MANSA
