The Garvey Month Approaches

The month of August [so-called] has been a time period that has been the calendar home of much progression in the Afrikan experience, even in recent centuries. From the leading light of Bookman Dutty  at the inception of the Haitian revolution or the leading light of Nat Turner in the self-determined effort for Afrikan victorious risings, it would therefore seem natural that the supreme visionary Marcus Garvey brought forth a powerful mission-driven,  grand coming together of ordered victorious substance for Afrikan souls during this calendar month.  Garvey knew that to realise Afrikan victory time is important and powerfully used. He studied how Afrikans flourished in natural wellness prior to the interrupted state and was then able to bring to the fore Afrikan excellence in creatively restored form during his physical lifespan. 

In the lead-up to the month of so-called August Garvey empoweringly shared the following:

“August of this year will be a history-making month in the life of the [Afrikan] race, because it will chronicle the holding…of the greatest International Convention brought together in the interest of the race. Conventions and Conferences have met to discuss matters pertaining to the [Afrikan], religiously, politically and otherwise; but there was no time in the history of the world when things became more imperative, as affecting the [Afrikan] race than they are today. It is the realisation of the seriousness of the time that causes the [Garvey Movement] to now summon every political unit of the [Afrikan] race to look toward….the month of August”.

So powerful were the ordered outcomes of Garvey’s exceptional work of elevation that a foreign researcher had to conclude that:

“Garvey fashioned the UNIA into a civil religion, replete with explanations of the roles that [Afrikan] people were to play in carrying out [the Creator’s] purpose. In articulating this purpose and promoting racial self-consciousness. Garvey called a[n Afrikan] nation into being”.

In the now, as living legacy the month of the convention has been sacralised as an observance period. The Garvey season is.  Wherever Afrikan people are in the world the thrust of nationhood can be brought to the fore. Such observance is an energy-source for focussed engagement throughout the levels of the Afrikan self: the person self, the harmonious and complimentary Afrikan male-female union, the Afrikan family, community, nation and race. It is a time  for many, when mainstream institutions of academia are closed and can allow quality time of self-determined development and growth to materialise.

Afrikan nation-building has always necessarily been a multi-faceted endeavour whereby each Afrikan works in ascension in the best ways possible given time, space, circumstance and condition. Always present is the overall thrust for victorious outcomes of elevation. As Afrikan souls build in the now, surely each block is to be purposefully positioned for eternal construction.

Marcus Garvey knew that for ordered Afrikan souls:

‘There is no height to which we cannot climb’.

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. Musa Msimu is a part of the Afrikan Cultural calendar of the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN).
