Another fallen revolutionary, "Geronimo" Pratt, has made his transition this past Friday, June 3, 2011.
It seems to me that we are definitely living in a different time; while the legendary elders are slowly fading onto the mysterious ancestral worlds, the question that I have is this: who is going to continue to deliver their teachings and their wisdom? We as a people are slowly losing our love and appreciation for culture, heritage, liberation and knowledge of our history and spirituality. Our community is becoming misguided by what is the now rather than being guided by what is the foundation. Our education is poor, our music voice is processed, and our arts are becoming extinct. The consciousness of knowing that we are African is becoming more and more of a myth to us. When are we going to cease the time?
