This week’s show
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Monday 20th Mosiah (Aug) 2012
This week Afrika Speaks with Alkebu-Lan celebrates its 300th show. For, the journey that started on 16th
2006 and is now on the verge of a momentous milestone, the entire ASwA team
extends a mighty TATENDA (thank you) to all our guests, supporters, listeners
and of course our CEO Space Clottey without whom none of this would be
possible.
It is indeed appropriate
that this show should occur in the month of Mosiah (Aug), when the Afrikan
world is particularly tuned to celebrating the life and legacy of The Eminent
Prophet and King, His Excellency Marcus Mosiah Garvey. This year represents 100 of Garveyism in the
UK, as it was in 1912 that Papa Garvey first came to this country and many of
his experiences and activities while here went into his establishment of the
Universal Negro Improvement and Conservation Association and African
Communities (Imperial) League (“conservation” was later dropped from the title)
in Jamaica two years later.
The rest, as they say is
history. The UNIA-ACL grew to become the
most powerful, comprehensive and successful liberation movement in
history. One of the early high points
for the organization was the 1920 “International Convention of the Negro
Peoples of The World”, that took place throughout the month of Mosiah and
included at massive 25,000 attendees for its opening session at New York’s
Madison Square Garden. These
conventions, that deserve, to be regarded on a par with the Pan-African
Congresses at the very least, have continued ever since.
This year the UNIA-ACL,
under the leadership of 10th President General and 9th
successor to Papa Garvey, Baba Senghor Jawara Baye, will host the 55th
International Convention in Atlanta, Georgia from 28/08 – 02/09. UK Garveyites will recall that the Alkebu-Lan
Revivalist Movement hosted Baba Senghor for the Mosiah Opening Ceremony in
2008. He was elected President General
later that month. Of the upcoming
convention, President General Baye enthuses:
“This convention promises to be fruitful and productive. Atlanta,
Georgia is the last place Marcus Garvey, while serving time in prison was
physically with us in the usa in 1927, before being deported back to Jamaica
his birth place. Later he traveled to London where he elevated into the
ancestral realm of life on June 10th, 1940.
This year marks the 125th earth strong year of his birth on August 17th,
1887. Although Garvey was only in the usa for 12 years his impact, program and
organizing efforts are still the most profound and relevant today in 2012 of
the 21st century… The UNIA-ACL now has 15 Ambassador's, a solid Parent Body,
many new divisions and has established reputable working relationships with
many progressive groups and formations working to uplift our people back
towards our traditional greatness around the world.”
So tonight we ask the question:
What will
bring Afrika and Afrikans back to our traditional greatness?
