My love affair with Black history was further cemented when I read, The Hero with an African Faceby Clyde W.
We must remember this: “The best of Africa (only those who were strong and healthy) were carried away in the slave ships and the strongest of the best, survived. This love affair began when I was a child and felt a great pride (rather than shame) in our people’s survival of the Maafa/Atlantic slavery). It’s the reason Kentake Page is a love affair. Not through murder, not through theft, not by way of violence.” Indeed, “I find, in being Black, a thing of beauty, a joy, a strength, a secret cup of gladness.” (Ossie Davis) African people never stole the land of others. I want to talk about journeys and love that grows mightily when one takes a penetrating look at the African/Black experience.
Sometimes, I want to shout out to the world about the deep love I carry within me for those men and women who are bright lights of history in our dark oppressive world of racism/European domination.
