Remembering a Great Hero

If one were to ask, ‘What has been overall the forte of Afrikan souls?’, an obvious answer would surely have to be the establishment of pinnacle civilisation. For this is what Afrikan people have been pioneering responsible for doing throughout the ages and in whatever locale they determine themselves to be. The outward expression of their highly civilised norm, naturally expressed itself in superlative construction. Forever etched in the annals of their grand continuum, this people’s exceptional abilities in highly civilised construction are unparalleled and surely ought not be considered to be anything less that their natural forte.

According to a contemporary mainstream source, the word forte is defined as:

“a strong ability, something that a person can do well”.

In this context, the focus is of course on Afrikan peoplehood of which each Afrikan soul regardless of their geographical location is a part. Bringing the initial question into the immediate present one may then ask, ‘What is the overall forte of Afrikan souls in the now?” In a state of interruption and disruption, if others that mean the Afrikan ill had their way, the only thing that Afrikan souls would be allowed to do well is to exclusively serve the best interests of others and be in total neglect of civilised construction for themselves.  In this, Afrikans may find themselves compelled to do well things that even work against their very existence.  This is tantamount to having a grotesquely skewed forte of self-destruction and doom.

Afrikan souls surely ought not then allow themselves to become misused as vessels for their own demise. Rather, it is imperative for the Afrikan to reclaim and express their natural forte of self-determined and civilised construction to service their continual ascension. Surely, this people can look into the metaphorical mirror of themselves and reveal their greatness to build wherever they stand. From whatever station, level or status souls can recover their self-knowingness and constructive ability.

The great hero Omowale Malcolm X insightfully and emphatically articulates a reminder that Afrikan people had:

“a higher level of culture and civilisation”.

in comparison to others. Therefore, Afrikan souls ought not totally relinquish themselves to  ways of those others and deny their  fullest potential and capabilities to build in their optimal brilliancy and know-how. Only Afrikan souls can construct and realise fullest flourishing for themselves. In so doing, their grand civilisations can be brought to the fore, this time secured into eternity. This cannot come to be through happenstance.
