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

Afrikan souls are naturally a people of great depth in the sense that they have a shared rootedness of core beingness that is inextricable to their origin regardless of their geographical locale. In this, Afrikan souls as the primary people of creation have an unparalleled historical extent. At the same time this soul people’s self-determined experience reflects their deep and shared roots from which their bountiful continuum blossoms as a norm. This is history beyond immediately apparent soundbites or temporary glitz of mere aesthetic expression or appearance. This is Afrikan history of depth.     

To illustrate the meaning of deep history, a contemporary mainstream source offers the following detail: 

“deep history encourages scholars in anthropology, archaeology, primatology, genetics and linguistics to work together to write a common narrative about the beginnings of humans, and to redress what they see as an imbalance among historians, who mostly concentrate on more recent periods”. 

In order to bring focus to the shared experience of Afrikan souls, here, there and elsewhere, adaptation of the sourced detail is considered to be apt. In making alterations, something that looks like the following may result: 

“Deep Afrikan history encourages Afrikan people in general and their scholars, anthropologists, archaeologists, geneticists and linguistic experts to work together to develop, articulate and secure a common narrative about the beginnings and shared journeying of Afrikan souls here, there and elsewhere, and to redress what they see as an imbalance (or even outright falsity) amongst certain ‘historians’, who concentrate exclusively on contemporary periods where interruption and disruption to Afrikan history is experienced”.  

Despite any attempts by others that mean the Afrikan ill to derail Afrikan souls from their natural knowingness of deep Afrikan history, it is Afrikan souls that hold the duty and responsibility to themselves to engage in their necessary processes of recovery, restoration and security of their historical depth. In so doing, much by way of confusion, identity crises, fragmentation and so on that serves the interests of others that mean the Afrikan ill can be avoided and safeguarded against.  

In speaking to Afrikan souls in the Americas, the great hero Omowale Malcolm X with his exceptional analytical insight shared the following: 

“And the thing that has kept most of us—that is, the Afro-Americans—almost crippled in this society has been our complete lack of knowledge concerning the past”. 

Just as it is with Afrikan souls in the Americas, so too it is with Afrikan souls in the Islands, Afrikans on the continent of Afrika, those in the UK, on the European mainland and elsewhere in the world. If a deficit in historical knowingness is allowed to prevail then Afrikan souls may open the door to constant petty squabbling amongst themselves and succumb to the concoction and amplification of ‘difference’ pushed and peddled via miseducation and other vices of ill. Instead, Afrikan deep history reveals the natural oneness of core being from which superlative civilisation comes. After all, such superlativeness is not of happenstance.
