Celebrating the Great Marcus Garvey and His Movement

If Afrikan souls look into their mirror of self and assess the sort of character they have hold as a consistent mainstay throughout their historical continuum, it is of the quality and substance that brought forth superlative civilisation. Thus, the Afrikan character is as a norm is of the highest standard on the plateau of humanity. To be so, the self-determined cultivation, development and safeguarding of it is key. This can be of critical concern in times of interruption and disruption where Afrikan souls may be destructively set upon intensively by others that mean the Afrikan ill.  Here, Afrikan souls here, there and elsewhere learning their Afrikan character for their continual ascension of rightful order is surely vital engagement.

According to a contemporary mainstream source:    

“"Learning character" refers to the process of developing and cultivating positive personal qualities, values, and behaviours. It encompasses both the acquisition of knowledge about character and the practical application of that knowledge in one's actions and interactions. Character education is the broader approach to fostering these qualities in individuals, particularly in young people, to help them become responsible, ethical, and well-rounded individuals”.

The great hero Marcus Garvey provided Afrikan souls with the following words of wisdom:

“Men and women who want to be of use to themselves… must have good character”.

Afrikan souls surely have a duty and responsibility to themselves to bring forth their best possible quality of character. In so doing, their norm of grand civilisation can be realised. It would be a travesty if Afrikan souls were to disregard or deny their ‘good character’ to become agents of self-destruction by proxy. Wilfully destructive wrongdoings intended to bring harm to or thwart souls from cultivating and exercising their ‘good character’ and encouraging other souls to do likewise is anathema to Afrikan ascension. If others that mean the Afrikan ill had their way, Afrikan souls would probably be totally swamped in ‘bad character’. Behaviours such as gossip-mongering and the spreading of falsehoods set to cause damage in the lives of souls rightfully missioning for Afrikan ascension of rightful order can be expressions of ‘bad character’ amongst other ills.

Additionally, the same contemporary mainstream source offers the following detail:

“Learning character is a lifelong process of self-discovery, growth, and refinement”.

Afrikan people through self-determined character learning and other necessary forms of self-knowledge can secure their fullest flourishing and security regardless of geographical locale. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.
