Celebrating the Great Afrikan History Continuum

It may appear to be of obvious simplicity to state that
knowledge is important to have as a mainstay of life applicable to station, level
or a particular specialism. Yet, basic of knowledge that Afrikan souls have of themselves
in surely vital no matter what life’s endeavour. Indeed, it is through such
core knowing that the avenues of lived engagement can be informed with the
lessons spawned of foundational knowingness. Intrinsic to the knowingness of
themselves is historical knowledge. Of course, this soul people’s
self-determined efforts of brilliancy to establish the world’s greatest and
most enduring civilisations speaks volumes about them and their natural
normality of life ascension. It also represents a dynamic and bountiful resource
of experience that can be utilised by them to inform constructiveness of
rightful order in any given present.
According to a contemporary mainstream source the term historical knowledge is defined thus:
“Historical knowledge refers to knowledge about past events, people, and societies”.
Taking an aspect of this definition – with slight alteration and adding a qualifier – the following can be stated:
“Afrikan historical knowledge refers to knowledge about Afrikan people”.
Thusly revealed is explicit articulation of historical knowledge relating to the self. Indeed, knowledge of self requires historical knowingness on a number of levels.
So then, existence in state of interruption and disruption where Afrikan souls may be subject to a barrage of misinformation about themselves and even severed from the historical knowingness of themselves – their norm of informed upright ascension suffers acutely to state the least. If others that mean the Afrikan ill can deny the Afrikan historical knowledge of themselves castrating self-knowingness then any resultant disorder, chaos and destruction may serve those others well.
To restore Afrikan historical knowingness in Afrikan souls is to restore vital levels of self-knowingness which this primary people ought never be bereft of. This requires self-determined self-determined effort on the part of the Afrikan. Despite the challenges, it is Afrikan souls who surely have the duty and responsibility to themselves to effect such fundamental restoration from whatever station, level or status they may hold. Each soul can take a step of upright progression in this regard wherever they stand. At the same time, souls can do themselves a great service in safeguarding against contaminants of ill, self-destructive wrongdoings and the like.
If Afrikan souls know of themselves that they have a norm of highly civilised living and construction, surely they will apply themselves accordingly in the now and throughout the tomorrows to come. This is a people history knows for superlative civilisation. History also knows that civilisation is not of happenstance.
