Utterance from this supreme visionary

“Afrika, the Scribes tell us
today and history has told us, has been the cradle of civilisation. When all Europe
was in darkness: was only a settlement of cannibals and barbarians. Afrika held
up the torch of civilisation, the [Afrikan] was the teacher of the ages, the blessed
[soul] of the Continents. Of the many Continents of the world, Afrika stands
out most prominently as the leader. All other Continents [attempted to copy] civilisation
from Afrika. And so if not in modern days, in ancient days Afrika produced
heroes and martyrs that we in any age should be proud of. As I suggested last
week we should not accept any exemplary characters from any race because they
are only borrowed from Afrika when it was great. And if they could have
borrowed from our civilisation and produced heroes and saints for us to imitate,
there is no reason why the [Afrikan] should not lean upon his [or her] own
shoulders, accepting…leaders from his [or her] own men and women who have led
the path of civilisation for centuries”.
The observance of Musa Msimu takes place during the month of so-called August and is a wonderful time to celebrate the mighty example of Marcus Garvey and the Movement that he created led in order for future generations of Afrikans to have their guide for complete freedom and nationhood.
