Kwanzaa – Celebrating Afrikan Imperative

The following is an account taken from the important text: From Musa to Afrikan Fundamentalism – The Afrikan Spiritual Essence of Marcus Garvey. It includes quotations from one close to and one deeply inspired by this supreme visionary:

“The Afrikan way is victorious in its totality. It is victorious in its ability to articulate life’s truths through observation and oneness with nature and as nature. It is victorious in providing the Afrikan with all that is required for the highest expression of humanity, civilisation and spirit. It is victorious in fight for Afrikan liberty.

‘Looking up at the moon or gazing up at the star-studied sky he felt the awe of a Divinity and a sense of the mystery of all nature far beyond the comprehension of many knowledgeable men. The roaring falls, the river peacefully flowing by, the mountains and their lonely, lofty peaks, the colours of the rainbow, the colours of the sunsets that defy a painter’s skill, the hurricanes in the summer, the droughts and flood rains, planting time and reaping time, all these touched him, and he displayed their influences. The [so-called] Maroon blood was stirring in his veins and he felt that it was time for him to carry on the [fight] for which the patriots of old had sacrificed.’

Garveyism becomes a holistic and dynamic expression of a people’s drive for the attainment and maintenance of liberty. Compiled and set in motion by the supreme visionary leadership of Marcus Garvey, Garveyism is to be implemented.

‘Merely asserting oneself was not enough, however. The oppressed needed a clear body of ideas to guide them in their quest for freedom and equality. Marcus put forward such a set of ideas. ‘Garveyism’ as some people call it. His ideas contained three major elements.’

The three major elements of Garveyism are:

Race First
Self Reliance
and
Nationhood”

Unfortunately, the annals of recent disruptive experience imposed upon the Afrikan of the Maafa has demonstrated the barbarous lows the forces of anti-Afrikan agency will stoop to deny Afrikan self-determination. Obviously, the rise of the Afrikan souls of the world represents the rise of Haki (Righteouness). Thus, the savage foreign vagabond pirate in the face of Afrikan righteousness will be compelled to cease his heinous criminal activities. It is the thieving murderous alien pirate that is hell bent on subjugating the Afrikan, for his lust for loot and genocidal ills are paramount in his atrocity-laden orientation of existence.  

The mission for Afrikan liberty and nationhood is a victorious must.

Implementation of Afrikan imperative is brought to be through organisation. Organised mission of spiritual and cultural fabric is essential  for marvellous spirit souls of creation . The Universal Royal Afrikan Nation is such a mission for the ascension of the Afrikan. It holds, as part of its foundation substance, the tenets of Garveyism and these are enlivened and energised throughout the year observance to observance.
