Celebrating the Great Marcus Garvey and His Movement

Afrikan people throughout the ages have expressed their powerfulness throughout the various spheres of their self-determined norm of living. Activity to learn, develop, build and grow are amongst those that have benefitted from generation to generation from such power. So much so, that this primary people of creation were able to establish the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to exist.
According to a contemporary mainstream source:
“Learning power, in the context of education, refers to the capacity and inclination to learn effectively and become a lifelong learner. It encompasses the psychological traits, skills, and habits that enable individuals to engage with learning challenges successfully”.
Afrikan souls here, there and elsewhere can certainly exercise their powerfulness in learning of themselves in the now and time to come. Indeed, one can usefully consider self-knowingness as a necessary staple of continual Afrikan ascension.
The great hero Marcus Garvey insightfully articulates that:
“Power is the only argument that satisfies man”.
Do Afrikan souls - regardless of geographical locale – satisfy their learning power of self? This, can only be answered by this soul people themselves beginning with a look into their mirror of self. Indeed, self-determined effort to learn of themselves is certainly a vital and pragmatic way to provide a meaningful answer of fulfilment.
This does not mean that such effort does not come with challenge, especially in times of interruption and disruption imposed by others that mean the Afrikan ill. Afrikan learning powerfulness of self may be intensively set upon in destructive ways in such conditions. Ill-efforts to push, peddle and foster disempowerment in Afrikan souls learning of self may ensue. Miseducation and other forms of anti-Afrikan propaganda may manufacture a dire state of ‘learned’ helplessness. Another mainstream source offers the following detail:
“Learned helplessness is a psychological concept describing the state where an individual stops trying to change a negative situation, even when opportunities for change exist, due to repeated experiences of uncontrollable aversive stimuli. It's essentially a learned belief that one's actions have no impact on outcomes, leading to a passive and often depressed state”.
In this, Afrikan souls can do themselves a great service by encouraging learning powerfulness of self amongst their number here, there and elsewhere. At the same time, this soul people surely ought to avoid becoming agents that push learned helplessness of self by proxy. Attempts to isolate, deny the progress of or bring harm to souls that rightfully mission for Afrikan ascension with necessary learning empowerment is dire disorder. Perpetrators may utilise a host of deceptive and deceitful tactics that can include gossip-mongering, the spreading of falsehoods and so on in the attempt to destructively set-upon a target. Motivated by petty jealousies, negative egos and the like a perpetrator may push unknowingness of the Afrikan self erroneously as some sort of ‘norm’ only to invite doom that engulfs the intended target and themselves void of favour.
Afrikan souls can – and surely must – exercise duty and responsibility to themselves here, there and elsewhere to recover their learning power of self and rightfully and constructively act accordingly. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.
