Long has the African awaited to reclaim his lost glory, so long that some have forgotten that there was ever any glory at all to the name of the African man. But an eagle fed with chicken feed for long may temporarily adopt the docility of a chicken, but the time will come when he recognizes he is an eagle, and at that moment flap its wings and flies away beyond the reach of a chicken. By his nature an eagle is out of the reach of a poultry farmer.

The African is an eagle who has for long been fed chicken feed and raised into a chicken. She must sooner than later regain the inner light of her actual identity and with it illuminate her path to her awaiting greatness.

Indeed, the African ancestry is replete with greatness, which has for too long been hidden.

It is the similitude of a lamp, which provides light but if put under a basket the light is not fully appreciated, except only the small pockets that may show. To reveal the full light, we must take off the basket.

We have been denied knowledge of the light of the ancient African kingdom of Kemet where the modern notion of justice and morality originated and spread through the practice of Ma’at. We will not know this because our knowledge systems are designed to exclude the sections that provide light and hope. We will also not know the great Imhotep, the black man who bequeathed modern medicine.

Even if we are not told, it remains true that our ancestors practiced complex surgical procedures in the Buganda kingdom of Uganda and Yendi of Northern Ghana. The philosophical geniuses of Anton Wilheim Amo of Elmina, Zara Yaqob of Abyssinia (modern day Ethiopia) remain great stories of glory, a history that if told to the African masses will awaken them in an unprecedented way.

But this will soon end, because an army is rising. The young African who has been dulled with chicken feet will not walk on two feet forever. He will soon find the energy in his wings and fly off to the skies, never again to be trampled upon and disrespected. Look to that day. It will soon come.
