Unite, Organise Now, or Perish: What of Cultural Unity?

Afrikan people are the pioneering force of culture on the plain of humanity. This primary people of creation cultivated and developed their lives to such a degree that they brought forth the world’s greatest and most enduring civilisations. Indeed, the words culture and civilisation in the lived sense, are interchangeable here. Therefore, to speak of the realisation of Afrikan cultural unity is to speak of the realisation of the unity of Afrikan civilisation.  

According to a contemporary mainstream source the term cultural unity attracts the following detail:

“Cultural unity refers to the shared sense of identity, values, beliefs, and practices among individuals within a society or nation-state. It involves a common understanding and acceptance of cultural diversity while promoting cooperation and harmony”.

To relate such detail specifically to the Afrikan experience, adjustment is considered apt. Thus, the following may be expressed:

“Cultural unity among Afrikan people refers to the shared sense of Afrikan identity, values, beliefs and practices within Afrikan communities, societies, nation-states and other groupings - here, there or elsewhere. It involves shared levels of self-knowledge and realisation of this soul people’s core of cultural oneness. Whatever variations may exist at the aesthetic level of cultural expression such as those of music and the arts, the promotion of cooperation and harmony amongst this primary people in service of their fullest flourishing and security, which is rooted in their cultural core, remains key”.  

Another mainstream source offers the following punctuating statement:

“The unification of civilisation is the only hope for the human race”.

Again, to relate this specifically to the Afrikan experience adjustment may yield:

“The establishment, thriving and security of unified Afrikan civilisation is the only hope for the Afrikan world community”.

Despite, the efforts of others that mean the Afrikan ill to deny Afrikan identity, values, beliefs and practices, it is only Afrikan souls themselves that can bring these to the fore through self-determined effort. Wonderfully, much work has been done in this regard, hence the realisation of the grand foundational cultural principle of Umoja (Unity) and its other associated values.  

Were others that mean the Afrikan ill left to have their destructive way, the Afrikan would be rendered void of their cultural substance and its values. Indeed, unrooted cultural aesthetic expressions completely uglified to promote chaos and disorder may be pushed and peddled as ‘total’ and ‘wholesome’ ‘culture’. In addition, pseudo-identities that derail Afrikan souls from themselves may also be added to the mix of disruptive imposition.

Afrikan cultural substance and its rooted array of cultural expressions can be restored to Afrikan life with the restoration and application of a level of self-knowledge. In this, Afrikan souls from whatever locale, station, level or status can make progressive steps forward. Indeed, the substance of Afrikan civilisation and its rooted array of highly civilised expressions are not of happenstance.  

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).
