I am saying that there is still something we have to fight against. Our brothers and sisters in South America and in the Caribbean and in the United States stood up against the slave system in this hemisphere while our African brothers and sisters were fighting a hundred year war against colonialism. The caliber of the men, the caliber of their courage and the caliber of their character stands well in the history of the world and in the history of struggle of any people at any time in history. If we have to change tomorrow we are going to have to look back in order to look forward. We will have to look back with some courage, warm our hands on the revolutionary fires of those who came before us and understand that we have within ourselves, nationally and internationally, the ability to regain what we have lost and to build a new humanity for ourselves, first and foremost, and for the whole world ultimately. To do those must extend the concept of Pan Africanism beyond its original base to a concept of a world union of all African people, the African in Africa, the African in the Caribbean, the African in South America, the African in the pacific islands and, especially the Africans throughout the world who has yet to realize that he is African too. The great words of Dr. John Henrik Clarke, historian. RBG ~Mwamba.
