This is a reiteration of an article first published on the 14th January 2022

Afrikan souls, the primary people of creation built the world’s greatest and most long-lived civilisations with their exceptional living knowingness of institution building, growth and development. Through their life institutions Afrikan people hove their continuum of remembering necessarily built into their lives. In this, the institutions of life are a natural living norm and conduit for the creation and transmission of empowering memory.  

According to a popular mainstream platform the word institution is defined as being:

“an organization founded for a religious, educational, professional, or social purpose”.

Of course, in the natural norm of self-governed and culturally-rooted Afrikan life such ‘organisation’ is inherent fabric of living. Here, these and other spheres of life are not separate to nor distinct from Afrikan family, community, nation or race. Rather, they are a part of the holistic thrust of empowerment necessary throughout the various levels of the Afrikan self. Indeed, all such spheres of activity or organisation is inherently interconnected to this people remembering themselves and the furtherance of their essential memory continuum.

To illustrate, Afrikan people necessarily remember those great ones of their family, community, nation or race that dedicate themselves to the elevation of Afrikan life in order that Afrikan great ones in the now and in time to come can in turn pick up the mantle of greatness for continual Afrikan ascent. Through life institutions determined by Afrikan souls remembering is a part of the fabric of life’s norm and memory-loss is avoided.

Despite the efforts of others that mean the Afrikan ill such as those of the Maafa of recent centuries, Afrikan people have a vital responsibility to restore their own life institutions and thus their living conduits of remembering. As others of ill may work to sever remembrance from Afrikan life, the Afrikan must surely not acquiesce to self-destruction. Instead, the Afrikan surely ought to reclaim remembrance and elevate Afrikan life accordingly.

In remembering the great hero Omowale Malcolm X, his dedication to elevate his people through self-determined organisation and institution building is brought to the fore. As Afrikan souls remember him, surely Afrikans throughout the world remember to remember themselves, for he reminded Afrikan souls that:

“Of all our studies history is best qualified to reward our research”.
