Symbol of the X

Throughout the ages Afrikan souls have been the forthright and most exceptional knowledge seekers and knowledge bearers of the sacred universe. For these special ones of Creation unknowing has been constantly transformed into the compelling path to know. Coupled with the natural and world’s most creative genius flow the Afrikan knowing of the life is a science and art of the deepest and most profound order. The Afrikan knowing becomes a part of the fabric of life itself. The Afrikan spiritual and cultural essence of life is a holistic knowing.

The brutal disruptions of the Maafa of recent centuries has hurled Afrikan souls into a dire pit of forced unknowing. Through genocidal imposition and terror protracted over generations the forces of anti-Afrikan agency have attempted to strip knowing from the Afrikan and claim it for themselves. The wanton and racist enemy parasitically attempts to rob the Afrikan of his or her history, criminally claim originality and use whatever limited understandings they may gain to unleash further theft, piracy and genocide. It is from this crucible of devastation that the Afrikan has and must continue to rise to ever-greater ascendancy.

Great heroes have emerged throughout the ages and in the revolutionary spirit of the so-called 60s the pinnacle example of global Afrikan ascendancy became realised in Omowale Malcolm X.  The transformative symbol of the X has been harnessed to reflect the imperative journey of unknowing to one of knowing. From the forced unknowing of names, language, history, liberty, nationhood and so on, to the profoundest depths of knowledge of self in every area of life. Of course, for the Afrikan this is not merely memory recall in the cognitive sense. Rather this is a journey of total reclamation and assertion throughout the world.

In the remembrance of Omowale Malcolm X Afrikan people throughout the world cross their arms in the symbolic honorarium of the power of transformative ascendancy. Purging themselves of the ills of enemy imposition reclaiming all that is theirs the Afrikan becomes whole again. Foreign religious doctrines, miseducation, mis-engineering must be X-punged from Afrikan life – the Afrikan way of knowing and of X-cellence in liberty must be.

Whether as part of ritual or creative expression using the limbs to symbolically reflect the great deeds and living legacy of the great Omowale Malcolm X is a powerful reflection of the mission compelling fight for the attainment and maintenance of Afrikan liberty and nationhood. During the remembrance observance of Omowale Malcolm X Kukumbuko arms, hands or fingers are used to punctuate the honorarium of this great hero (and all that he represents for the freedom of Afrikan souls) by being crossed in the powerful transformative symbol of the X.

Omowale Malcolm X Kukumbuko is a restorative spiritual and cultural observance providing a vehicle for Afrikan people to live their own way of life in the now and in time to come. Omowale Malcolm X Kukumbuko is a part of the cultural calendar of the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN). The 21st February 1965 (so-called) is the date of the martyrdom of this great hero and the URAN gathering for Kukumbuko takes place on Sunday 21st February (or nearest Sunday) on an annual basis.

A wonderful way to make the Afrikan remembrance continuum fabric of life is to become a part of an organ for Afrikan ascendancy.  The Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN) is an Afrikan-centred spiritual and cultural mission for ascendancy that embodies living spiritually and culturally rooted life.
