“A people without knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots”
Marcus Grvey
I don’t need to believe I was descended from kings to believe I am great. Stripped and whipped, we put down roots that are undeniable, that support who we are today and who we will be tomorrow. We invent culture and history everyday because we have no choice.
We spend too much time trying to know the unknowable, fighting against a narrative they will never relinquish. Let’s spend the time creating solid foundations and futures where we are the tellers of history.
