Lessons for Necessary Movement of Rightful Order: What of a Place of Learning?

The thrust of self-determined learning in Afrikan life throughout the ages has been a great and vital boon to Afrikan development and the building of the Afrikan wisdom tradition and its excellence in service of Afrikan betterment. Indeed, this soul people could not have established the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to exist void of their grand ability to learn. In exercising their exceptional efforts to acquire and transmit knowingness amongst themselves this primary people of creation naturally brought forth their self-determined centres of learning.

The great hero Marcus Garvey recognised the importance of learning and established relevant learning programmes of self and created appropriate space in which learning could take place. He realised that even in times of interruption and disruption self-determined learning remained key in the lives of Afrikan people here, there and elsewhere. He held the profound ability to remember that since the earliest of times learning and places of learning had been foundational in Afrikan life and as such it ought to be continually so. Not only did he remember this vital sphere of functioning but acted upon that memory to bring it into fruition in the best possible ways.

According to a contemporary mainstream source:  

“A "place of learning" refers to any location where knowledge or skills are acquired. This can encompass formal settings like schools and universities, as well as informal environments like libraries, museums, or even a person's own home. The concept extends to public spaces, including heritage sites, community centres, and social groups, offering various avenues for formal, non-formal, and informal education”.

Whether formally or informally surely Afrikan souls can establish and utilise necessary space for the learning of self. Whether as a centre of learning, as a study group, in the home or elsewhere, Afrikan souls can surely and rightfully exercise their duty and responsibility to themselves.

Unfortunately, others that mean the Afrikan ill may take it upon themselves to push and peddle miseducation and other forms of anti-Afrikan propaganda to divert Afrikan souls away from learning of themselves. Despite disorderly effort, Afrikan souls can utilise their spaces to keep their ever-evolving wisdom tradition alive from each generation to the next and safeguard it accordingly.

Certainly, there are operational lessons that Afrikan people can learn at the person level of day-to-day living. In this, Afrikan souls surely ought not become tools of derailment in the natural process of souls acquiring a knowledge of self by proxy. Wilfully and destructively engaging in acts of deceit and deception to deter Afrikan souls from self-learning is despicable at best - whether via harmful gossip-mongering or the spreading of falsehoods. Petty jealousies and negative egos ought not take hold where souls rightfully encouraging or facilitating relevant learning are maliciously targeted with ‘who does this person think they are’ projections that are then deliberately il-acted upon.

Afrikan souls can – and surely must – recover and exercise their ability to learn in service of their ascension. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.
