People without the Knowledge
A People without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.”
Marcus Garvey
This quote from Marcus Garvey rings true for all Americans- this being a country of either indigenous natives, immigrants or enslaved people.
What do you really know about your family history, the origin of your ancestry, your culture?
When trees do not have healthy roots, they become diseased and weak or predatory, which is what we see with the insidiousness of systemic racism.
Not just because it is Black history month, but every month, learn who you are, where you came from, and then you can choose what you truly stand for.
(Marcus Garvey was a Jamaican-born Black nationalist and leader of the Pan-Africanism movement, which sought to unify and connect people of African descent worldwide.)
