Remembering a Great Hero

There is no shortage of historic Afrikan figures throughout the Afrikan continuum who have made a significant impact upon Afrikan life and in service of Afrikan people’s fullest flourishing and security here, there and elsewhere. In the ancient world there were Afrikan greats that made a tremendous impact upon Afrikan life’s ascension that still resonates to this day amongst soul people – whether they are consciously aware of it or not.
Even in the unfortunate state of interruption and disruption where Afrikan souls can be destructively set upon by others that mean the Afrikan ill, Afrikan souls are still able to produce their historic figures of progressive transformation. Indeed, it surely ought to be a treasured quality amongst those figures who inspire and guide Afrikan souls at large towards the reclamation of the Afrikan history continuum beyond the interrupted state.
According to a contemporary mainstream source, the term historic figure relates to:
“a person who lived in the past and whose deeds exerted a significant impact on other people's lives and consciousness. These figures are attributed with certain features that are a compilation of the actual values they proclaimed and the manner they were perceived by others”.
In order to bring focus specifically to the Afrikan experience at the shared core level of oneness this soul people naturally hold whatever their locale, adaptation of the sourced detail is considered apt. Consequently, alterations may yield a result that looks something like the following:
“An Afrikan historic figure is a person who lived in service of Afrikan people’s fullest flourishing and security here, there and elsewhere. These are souls whose deeds exerted a significant and positive impact on the lives and consciousness of Afrikan people regardless of their geographical locale. These figures naturally hold a quality of features that reflect the informed aspirations born of their soul people’s experience and also represent Afrikan authentic values (creatively restored or otherwise) they proclaim in thrust of Afrikan optimality”.
The great hero Omowale Malcolm X, can certainly be deemed a historic figure of the contemporary era. With his great depth of insight, he highlights that many Afrikan souls in the western hemisphere are at a deficit in relation to their historical experience when he states:
“He doesn't realise the advancement and the high state of his own culture that he was living in before he was kidnapped and brought to this country”.
Of course, the sentiment may also apply to many Afrikan souls on the continent of Afrika itself who do not realise the high state of Afrikan cultured living and advancement prior to the invading forces of enslavement and colonisation.
Whether the Afrikan is here, there or elsewhere the reclamation of knowingness of Afrikan historic figures and the vast Afrikan history continuum is fundamental empowerment. After all, civilisation is not of happenstance.
