When You Put a Seed In the Soil It Remains Beneath the Soil Until the Season Changes: What of Beginning to Reclaim History? 

Afrikan souls as the primary people of creation did not begin their historical experience in disruption and interruption. Rather, they exercised their self-determined prowess and pioneered the making of history. From the start, this soul people developed and expressed themselves with such upright brilliancy that the inevitable outcome of the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to exist were inevitable.  

The prolific historian and friend of the great hero Omowale Malcolm X shared the insight that:  

“If you begin your history in slavery… Everything since then looks like progress”. 

Surely then, Afrikan souls could do themselves a great service in their efforts to reclaim their history to study their natural and self-determined: norms of living, their norms of excellence, their norms optimality, their norms of fullest flourishing and constructive excellence prior to any disruption and interruption by the hands of others that the mean the Afrikan ill. In so doing, the high standards of civilised Afrikan beingness can be recognised and built upon in the best ways possible. Bearing in mind that civilisation and culture can be considered as one, the realisation that Afrikan souls here, there and elsewhere are never void of culture in any absolute sense, but may be in a position where they have authentic culture to reclaim and if necessary, restore – creatively so, or otherwise – can be brought into fruition. In this, the existence imposed by the disruptions of enslavement, colonisation and so on are not the ‘standards’ by which Afrikan souls are content to have to survive in nor aspire to dwell in. Rather, the Afrikan is naturally informed by the superlative historical standards of self in service of Afrikan fullest flourishing and security. 

Unfortunately, others that mean the Afrikan ill have attempted to keep Afrikan souls locked into knowing of interruption and disruption only. Vices such as miseducation and other forms of anti-Afrikan propaganda can be mainstay tools in this dire effort. If the Afrikan succumbs to this level of disorder the consequences can also be described as dire with acute limitations on how soul people see themselves.  

The great hero Omowale Malcolm X, highlights this with his profound depth of insightfulness of Afrikans that succumb to unknowingness of themselves when he states:   

“He doesn't realise that he was living in a civilisation in Afrika where science had been so far advanced, especially even the astronomical sciences, to a point where Afrikans could plot the course of the stars in the universe”. 

Grotesquely and erroneously, Afrikans souls could be in danger of mis-conceiving pseudo-civilisation (or pseudo-culture) as civilisation. Indeed, Afrikan souls could be in danger of attributing the construction, development and the directing of civilisation as the exclusive preserve of others and themselves as somehow unworthy of such endeavours. Of course, in reality it is Afrikan souls that pioneered civilisation into being in the first place and produced its greatest and most enduring examples. Thus, some level of study of the Afrikan history continuum for Afrikan people here, there and elsewhere is surely of fundamental substance and surely ought not be relegated to nor confused with a state of interruption and disruption. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.
