Celebrating the Great Marcus Garvey and His Movement

What sort of learning did Afrikan souls deem necessary for their establishment of the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to exist? The development of outwardly expressed skill or technique for a particular operation at tertiary levels of functioning may be aesthetically obvious. Yet, what of the fundamental and shared knowingness from which outward expressions naturally emanate? This is the type and level of learning that can be considered to be core. Core Afrikan learning holds the value of self-knowingness in service of Afrikan fullest flourishing and security here, there and elsewhere. It is learning to realise optimal civilisation.
According to a contemporary mainstream source:
“Core learning, in an educational context, generally refers to the fundamental knowledge, skills, and concepts that are considered essential for all students to acquire within a specific subject or at a particular level of education. It represents the foundational building blocks that students need to progress in their learning journey and to apply these concepts in various contexts”.
Today, core learning for Afrikan souls is as important as it ever was, maybe more so. In a state of interruption and disruption, where Afrikan people may be destructively set upon by others that mean the Afrikan ill, the natural norm of core Afrikan learning can suffer immensely.
The great hero Marcus Garvey emphatically reminded Afrikan souls that:
“The value of knowledge is to use it”.
Afrikans cannot use their knowledge if it is abandoned, neglected or denied. If Afrikans know not of themselves and Afrikan civilisation, then how can their civilisation be built?
With ill-vices such as miseducation and other forms of anti-Afrikan propaganda, Afrikan souls may succumb to avoidance or denial of their natural self-determined core of learning. Twistedly, even the most tertiary levels of learning (say) the how-to aspects of a fun hobby activity for leisure may be erroneously ‘positioned’ as being ‘core’. This is not to deny the importance of upright leisure pursuits. Yet, at the same time, tertiary activities are naturally outward expressions of that which is core to Afrikan life rather than a substitute of that core.
Void of their core learning and consumed with contaminants of ill, Afrikan souls can end up attacking souls who rightfully encourage or facilitate the recovery of Afrikan core learning by proxy. Perpetrating souls may seek to engage in gossip-mongering, the spreading of falsehoods and other deceitful or deceptive tactics intended to bring harm to upright souls of Afrikan ascension. Perpetrators may also find themselves addicted to attempts at manipulation set to sway souls away from rightful core learning. This is of course amongst other disorders a dire wilfully wasteful haemorrhaging of time, energy and resource that could otherwise be directed to Afrikan betterment of rightful order.
Surely, Afrikan souls have a duty and responsibility to themselves (regardless of geographical locale) to restore their core learning on a self-determined basis and apply themselves to Afrikan ascension accordingly. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.
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.
