Emancipation Day 2014
On the morning of Friday 1st August 2014, the Afrikan family gathered in Brixton South London.
On this day we re-affirmed our commitment of each other and to our ancestors.
On this day we showed that despite differences in perspective, we are able to work together on things that we have in common."Leaders are people who raise the standard by which they judge themselves, and by which they are willing to be judged. A love of high quality, we must remember is essential in a leader."
His Imperial Majesty
Emperor Haile Selassie First
Those who have taken the initiative, must remember that our liberty can not be defined by an event, however powerful that event may be. We are in a process and the building of institutions is a crucial aspect of this process.
We made an important step this day and it is also significant that we are marking the one hundred anniversary of the establishment of the UNIA (ACL). Which was brought into being on the 20th July 1914 by the Right Honourable Marcus Mosiah Garvey.
Let us remember that a step is the beginning of a journey and not the culmination.
Let us remember that a step is the beginning of a journey and not the culmination.
We have come a long way, however we still have a long way to go!
I can say, that, I am proud to have taken part in the march, but euphoria aside, we have been at this point several times before. Let us now advance to victory and do not falter.
A New Day?
