When You Put a Seed In the Soil It Remains Beneath the Soil Until the Season Changes: What of a Culture with Remembrance? 

It is vital for Afrikan souls here, there and elsewhere to remember who and what they are and their experience in the world. To do otherwise may be an invitation of welcome to the ills of historical amnesia or pseudo historical content pushed and peddled through vices such as miseducation. Thus, if there is a phenomenon that is vital to Afrikan life here, there and elsewhere, then surely it is natural that it resides within the fabric of shared authentic Afrikan culture (creatively restored or otherwise). Hence, remembrance is a part of Afrikan cultured living. 

To illustrate the point, a contemporary mainstream source offers the following description:   

“Whole communities, even nations, are said to have a collective memory or the ability to "remember" events that give rise to identity – and to recall and pass them on in the form of narratives, traditions or commemorative events. What a community remembers and how it does so is part of its culture of remembrance”. 

In order to bring focus specifically upon the Afrikan experience at the shared level of oneness, such sourced detail may be adapted. In so doing, something that looks like the following may result: 

“The Afrikan world community with all of its Afrikan nations can naturally be said to have a collective Afrikan memory and the ability to remember events that give rise to the continual security of their shared core Afrikan identity. In this, Afrikan souls here, there and elsewhere are able to recall and generationally pass on shared narratives, traditions and commemorative events of Afrikan oneness. What the Afrikan world community remembers and how it does so in service of this whole people’s fullest flourishing and security is part of its culture of remembrance”.  

Despite any destructive attempts to derail Afrikan remembrance by others that mean the Afrikan ill, the onus is upon Afrikan souls to restore appropriate levels of knowingness and cultured living to realise and benefit from their collective memory. At the same time, Afrikan souls can do themselves a great service in safeguarding against historical amnesia, pseudo-historical content and the like.  

The great hero Omowale Malcolm X who powerfully represents Afrikan souls here, there and elsewhere and is worthy of a place of remembrance amongst his people, eloquently highlights the the necessity of memory at a basic fundamental level when he states: 

“If a man has forgotten his name, he’s a sick man. They call that amnesia”. 

Through remembrance Afrikan souls can recall the best of themselves and apply themselves accordingly. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.
