*THE BLACK LIGHT SANKOFA VISION Habakkuk 2:2-3*
- Create clusters of dynamic, self-sufficient, self-contained, fully functional, Black owned local small and mid-size business enterprises through the advent of community Power Rings ending the inertia of volunteer slavery.
- Use the January 1, 2013 sesquicentennial anniversary of President Abraham Lincoln’s 1863 Emancipation Proclamation as a rally-point for a grassroots Black American cultural re-awakening and springboard for reorganization.
- Reconstitute Black American male thinking by bootstrapping their affectionate compassion towards Black women, in addition, their appreciation of the virtues associated with personal responsibility.
- Embrace a brand new Black American vision that strategically advances the culture’s economic, academic, political, artistic, athletic, and spiritual standing exponentially forward beyond the place where the 1960’s Civil Rights movement left off.
- Take control over indiscriminate gun violence in Black American communities by uniformly promoting responsible gun ownership, lawful weapon associations, and educated respect for the 2nd Amendment of the US Constitution.
- Impose on Black American youth the faultless values associated with strong character and applying dogged determination to achieve excellence in math, science, language, art and nationalistic Black studies.
- Permanently end the stunningly ignorant and self-damning use the N-Word by Black Americans in all its deplorable variations.
- Shakeup the status-quo Black activist and political machine by replacing the familiar face old-guard leadership with a new cadre of socially conscious business, political and activist leaders for the 21st century who, synthesizing hindsight and the substantial post civil-rights era intellectual and experiential gains, will rightly put into practice updated nationalistic cultural concepts left by 20th century Black luminaries like Marcus Garvey, Booker T. Washington, Paul Robeson, Patrice Lumumba, Malcolm X and the post-1967 Martin Luther King.
“…a literature is taking shape and acquiring strength, a literature… that does not propose to bury our dead, but to immortalize them; that refuses to stir the ashes but rather attempts to light the fire…perhaps it may help to preserve for the generations to come… The true name of all things.” - Eduardo Galeano
