Remembering a Great Hero

The crucial importance of some level of study in regards to Afrikan history for Afrikan people cannot be denied, whether the Afrikan is here, there or elsewhere. The great hero Omowale Malcolm X emphasised this when he articulated study plans in the following way:
“we're going to have a series that will be designed to give us a better understanding of the past, I should say a better knowledge of the past, in order that we may understand the present and be better prepared for the future. I don't think any of you will deny the fact that it is impossible to understand the present or prepare for the future unless we have some knowledge of the past”.
In remembering this great hero with a pragmatic approach allows Afrikan souls to recall his progressive deeds in such a way as to positively inform their own in the best ways possible. In so doing, some semblance of study to recover, restore and secure knowingness of the Afrikan experience throughout a vast continuum that is shared by this soul people regardless of geographical locale is key. Such studies were a fundamental part of Omowale Malcolm X’s life engagement in mission to realise Afrikan people’s fullest flourishing and security. Thus, through remembrance in this regard, Afrikan souls can draw upon his example and implement it accordingly.
Of course, the benefits of engaging in this way can be amplified immensely, in that the study of this hero’s powerful and inextricable engagement with his Afrikan history can inspire Afrikan people’s engagement with the same en-masse. Just as the example of a great hero can inspire positive engagement; the innumerable examples of greatness from an entire historical continuum is a massive vehicle of empowerment to reclaim.
Despite the destructive efforts of others that mean the Afrikan ill to derail Afrikan souls from knowingness of their history through vices such as miseducation and other forms of anti-Afrikan propaganda, it is for Afrikan souls to recover their historical knowingness on a self-determined basis. Here, study at some level is essential activity.
See, what the Afrikan knows of self the Afrikan can do for the self - and even a cursory glance at the Afrikan history continuum reveals the greatest and most enduring civilisations ever to exist. Thus, the articulation that civilisation is not of happenstance can hold pragmatic meaning and bring to the fore the natural norm of duty and responsibility as grand constructors. This time with the qualities of security commensurate for an uninterrupted eternity to come.
