"For God so Loved the World that He gave up His Only Begotten Son so that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have Eternal Life." Gospel of John 3:16
Sankofa
An Akan symbol from Ghana West Africa meaning “Go Back and Get It” A Symbol of Wisdom of learning from the past in order to build the future. This website will search out African and Nu African cultural and historical themes (as suggested by these videos) and present them in various tutorial forms, online courses, using the Moodle LCMS cloud platform, and “By Any [Other] Means Necessary” ( e.g. film, writing, video, etc.) to the world. Why, because as one astute young Nu African female expat now living in Africa, has declared that [Nu Africans] must adopt “radical acceptance” of our grand-domestication in this world by white people and so “By Any Means Necessary” as our Martyred Leader Malik al-Shabazz [Malcolm X] has said in order to free ourselves from domination in any form by Setian white men, and any of their black acolytes and minstrel dancers. Studying, researching and upholding our black African history and culture to the world in its many varied ecological forms is just one significant way to do this. We desperaterly need to know what our great men of the past (e.g. military generals, empire builders, kings and queens) did to build and sustain and transmit black civilitation for their black African posterity. What life-giving, life-saving institutions did they build to guarantee our future as a world people? And what now can we do to emulate their courage and wisdom as civilization and institution builders for our future posterity.
