| by Ras Marvin In August 19th -25th, 2009 a delegation of four members of the Collective Black People Movement & Dr. Julius Nyerere/CBPM UNIA-ACL Division 421 went to the 52nd International Convention of the UNIA-ACL Government in Detroit, Michigan. The Delegates included Michael Harris of Juice Productions, Moses Levi of Akachi African Leather Works, Bomani Tyembha of African of the Africans and myself, Ras Marvin, the CBPM Administrative Coordinator and the newly elected President of the Julius Nyerere /CBPM UNIA-ACL Atlanta Division 421. We traveled by road and stayed with Juice Production’s family, a family of dancers. Thank you, Jeff, for your accommodations. The sisters of Division 421 were not able to attend the Convention, but without their input and works, the attendees of the Convention would not recognized the Atlanta Division easily. This is because Sister Faye Natallie created a beautiful banner to speak for and represent our Division at the Convention. In addition, Sister Faye touched up the CBPM banner. These two banners together spoke thousands of words for the Julius Nyerere/CBPM Atlanta Division 421, at the Convention, that all we had to do is smile from all the love we were receiving. Everyone spoke highly on Sister Faye’s beautiful Art works as we flew our banner high. The 52nd International Convention was such a great event of Nation building, Networking, Information, and Love. The Julius Nyerere/CBPM UNIA-ACL Atlanta Division 421 was given our Official Charter as a UNIA-ACL Division and received a lot of love from the Parent Body of the UNIA-ACL Government and all UNIA-ACL Divisions attending the 52nd International Convention. There were also five other new Divisions of the UNIA-ACL. This included 3 Divisions from Africa, a Division from St. Ann’s Jamaica, and the first cyber space Division, Harambee Radio/TV, Division 369. We (the Atlanta Delegates) learned a lot about the government that was established by Marcus Garvey and our Elders/Ancestors in 1919 in Harlem, New York. In addition to the new Divisions at the Convention, the foundation Divisions of the UNIA-ACL was also present. These included the Cleveland Division that has been in existence from the 1920’s, the Montreal Canada Division 334, the Philadelphia, PA Division 121 where the Headquarters of the UNIA-ACL Government exists, divisions from Chicago, Washington DC, the Carolinas, and many more. Several Divisions from Africa were not able to attend the Convention. The CBPM is about nation building and since we are a member of the African Community Leagues and a Division of the UNIA- ACL via Division 421, we are at home and in the right position to advance all of our members and do our part in the Government of our people. “ATL, Africa Together Liberated”, the President General is pointing us in the same direction that Marcus Garvey had our people going. Race First. “Up you might race, you can accomplish what you will”. The host Division for the 52nd International Convention was the Arthur Thomas Division 407, with President Kweku Bey, Lady President Muqarrabah, 1st Lady Vice President Indi Ya Bey, and all the members of Division 407. 1st Lady Vice President, Indi Ya Bey, also holds to other key positions in the State of Michigan. She is known as Sargent Slaughter with the Detroit Fire Department, a 20 year veteran. Sister Indi Ya Bey is also the State of Michigan Pool Champion. She is a very intelligent Sister with a lot of love for her people and the Government of the UNIA-ACL. Sister Indi Ya Bey is also a new member to the CBPM (www.cbpm.org/wealthbuildingnetwork). Thanks for hosting an Historical Convention UNIA-ACL Arthur Thomas Division 407. The 52nd International Convention was filled with business and public meetings, which charge to action each attendee and Division. Presenters included Khabir Hadas UNIA-ACL Minister of Education, and a new member to the CBPM (www.cbpm. org/panafrikan) along with Brother Malik Hakim presentations on developing independent African Educational Institutions. A panel of Educational Experts made up of Debra Moore of Ahmose Math Academy / Nsoroma, K-8 public school in Detroit, Michigan, Sister Basiymah Muhammad Bey, 4th Assistant President- General UNIA-ACL / Principal of a school in Philadelphia, PA, and Akili Nkrumah, 1st Assistant President- General, and history teacher at the Marcus Garvey school in Philadelphia for over 25 years. We learned/re-learned that math is not a European Subject. Math is an African Subject. Ahmose (1750 B.C.), an Egyptian (Kemetic) copywrited the first math book. In this book you will see the first times tables. Pythagorus had to go to African Teachers in Egypt to get the Kemetic Theorem, now called the Pythagorean Theorem. He could not go without permission of Greek Authorities. Euclid, was not European, he was African. He wrote 13 books on Math, 12 on Geometry and 1 on Mathematical Theory. Euclid’s standards are the standards used today in Geometry. Ibn Musa Al-Khawarizmi wrote math books on Algebra in 1850 AD. From Al-Khawarizmi is where we get the word Algebra today. Sister Debra Moore shared that when you do things in detail, you are doing mathematics. We as a people cannot advance without mathematics. Sister Basimah spoke on how her school is using the Barter system with their students in exchange for tuition payment. Professor Leonard Jeffries expressed his solidarity with the UNIA-ACL Government during the 52nd International Convention while presenting as a guest speaker on Harambee Radio. Dr. Julius Garvey, Marcus Garvey Jr., Hanibal Africa, and Reverend Sanders of Stone Mountain, Georgia were nominated to be on the counsel of elders. There was a special focus on Health and Emergency readiness for our people. Brother Sababu gave a presentation of the progress on the next UNIA-ACL Constitutional Convention for 2010 (every 5 years). Dr. Robert Brock, joined with the Government of the UNIA-ACL and gave a presentation on a program to assist descendents of enslaved Africans. The basis of the program is that Africans were captured in a War of Enslavement as the beginning of the problem. To get out of slavery we had to escape, we did not runaway. Escape means we were held against our will and confined. To keep their captives, the Europeans dehumanized African people, our culture, language, and ways of life. By locking us up, putting chains around our necks and body from generation to generation. Later, they removed the chains from us when the process of dehumanization was complete. We are now in mental enslavement. Dr. Brock said that almost all of the African people’s mind and culture has been damaged by going through the dehumanization process of slavery. The only thing the white man could not take from the Blackman was our physical features. Therefore they started the saying that if you have African hair, it was bad hair, causing millions of African women and people to be victims of this psychological brain washing process. This was also promoted heavily in all aspects of the United States of America. The white man said everything is bad with Black People except having sex with the women. This started the disrespect of our women in which still today blanc women are portrayed as sex objects. Dr. Sebi, joined with the UNIA-ACL Government at the Convention and he was the next presenter. Dr. Sebi is based in Honduros. Dr. Sebi’s daughter, Zabi Sebi, cured the Head Rabbi in Brooklyn, New York, from serious illness, now all the Hasedic Jews come to Zabi Sebi for treatment, when needed. Dr. Sebi shared with us that protein will kill you. Starch will kill you. All the man made vegetables like carrot, peas, cassava, protein, wheat, rice, beats, and beans will kill you. God did not make these vegetables because they do not produce seed to reproduce itself. They have to be cut and replanted to grow. Most starches are Acidic and the body needs Alkalinity. Jesuit Priest, invented all kind of beans. More information is available at www.gregormendel.com. Dr. Sebi has cured Aids, and many disease with his herbal remedies and the theory of there is only on disease and that is mucus. The Japanese Government wants to pay Dr. Sebi $200,000 Million (Dollars) for the rights to distribute Dr. Sebi’s herbal remedies for good health. Dr. Sebi says it belongs to African People. Attorney Faruq Muhammad, UNIA-ACL Counsel General, was not able to attend the convention because of health reasons. We were privileged to hear his words to the attendees of the Convention through a recorded presentation. We thank you Brother Faruq Muhammad for all you have been doing and continue to do for the Government of the UNIA-ACL. Attorney Faruq Muhammad shared vital information on the International Expatiate Movement (IEM). We pray for your speedy recovery and good health. The Laws of Kemit, Maat, the Creator pure consciousness, truth, justice, righteousness, resoprosity, and harmonic balance was all in tune at the Convention. Del Walters, an Investigative Reporter from Washington DC and North Carolina, was the next presenter down with the Government of the UNIA-ACL. Del Walters is the same Investigative Reporter responsible for forcing the Automobile companies to place warnings on the visors of cars that air bags can kill. He has in his possession one of the first visor that carried this warning. Del Walters has also worked for ABC news in Washington DC, received 22 Emmy Awards and more, author of “The Race”, in which he authored three years ago, a fiction, book that talks about a Black President for the United States and it happened. The Pottery Barn Rules, is a non-fiction account of how the President of the United States of America, Richard Nixon, along with the CIA’s actions has led to many assassinations in Africa for the purpose of being able to rape the raw materials of Africa Freely. Any African leader who publicly declares that Africa’s resources belong to Africa, mysteriously disappears. In the documents Del Walters was able to get unclassified, information on Richard Nixon's fear that one day Africa’s young and vibrant population would have control of its resources. Nixon viewed this as the Death to America. Nixon said to Monahan, “there is no good African Leader”, on tape. To fight the Cold War against the Soviet Union, the United States got 80% of there Uranium from the Congo. In National Security 200 (NSS200), stated how the United States Government decided to destabilize Africa, Central America, and South America. National Security 201 (NSS201), called for the increase in arm sales to these areas. The involved parties of the Rockerfellas, Vanderbilts, Warren Buffet, and Bill Gates promotes the World Population Control in which people in Africa is being sterilized through Menstrual Reduction Kits. In 1975 was the Sterilization National Conference. Del Walters has proven the conspiracy that America wants to kill all Africa and Africans. Del Walters also has the Pottery Barn Rules book in DVD. It’s title is called Apocolyse Africa. There were over 20,000,000 Africans killed from the 1950’s to now cause due to pillage and piracy of the continent's resources and nothing going to benefit the people. Starvation, disease, and guns ship are sent to the continent but not made in Africa. Leaders sell out their people, to increase their personal wealth. The back ground drop on some CNN news programs show a picture of the world from out of space and the continent of Africa is in darkness, except for where whites live, there is a screen of protection. Africa's current existence is fill with greed, and ethnic conflicts that is encouraged by racism. The UNIA-ACL Mosiah Division in England sent an email message to the Convention. Inside of this message Sister Power and the Sister’s asked what is the place of woman in the home or on the frontline? The Akebulan Revivalist Movement, from England, grounded in the teachings of Marcus Garvey, expressed their solidarity with the UNIA-ACL Government. More important developments from the Convention: 1. African Redemption Fund (ARF) – Is a way for African People to address our Sovereignty. 2. International Expatriate Movement (IEM) – Every race on the planet have an Expatriate Program in which each country protects their citizens where ever they go (dual citizenship). 3. The Exoneration of the Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey Committee Led by Brother Yaw from Los Angeles. Marcus Garvey and the UNIA-ACL did nothing wrong. There has been exnerations issued by government officials in New York, Philadelphia, Detroit, Florida, and Connecticut. We need to continue this effort to have Marcus Garvey’s name cleared in the US documents and history. More information is available on this effort at www.marcusgarveyexoneration.com. Volunteers needed. 4. Black Cross Nurse - Re-Establishment of the Black Cross Nurses in all Divisions. They provide services for our Elders in the community. The Black Cross Nurse is also an Official Chartered Division of the UNIA-ACL from Belize. They provide Social Services for our people. 5. 2014 is the 100th Anniversary of the UNIA-ACL. Look out for Global Centennial celebrations. 6. UNIA-ACL Business – Each Division of the UNIA-ACL must have Study Groups, Community newspaper, a Division Library, and After School Program, and establish along with a building fund. In addition, each Division of the UNIA-ACL gave reports. 7. Garvey's Voice – The Distribution of the Garvey Voice Magazines is one of the most important means to educate our people. Attorney Faruq Muhammad, of the Legal Defense Committee, said the that Marcus Garvey has returned in the Whirlwind is not a Metaphor, but a prophesy being fulfilled. Much thanks is due to Tony Martin preserving a lot of the history on Marcus Garvey for our people. Next year, 2010, the 53rd International Convention of the UNIA- ACL will be held in Washington DC. The 54th International Convention of the UNIA-ACL will be held in Philadelphia, PA in 2011. In 2012, the 55th International Convention will be held in Atlanta, Georgia. Division 421 have a short time to get ready for the UNIA-ACL Convention in Atlanta in 2012. Brothers and Sisters who are interested in being part of the Julius Nyerere/CBPM UNIA-ACL Atlanta Division 421, are asked to come to the twice a month monthly meeting every 2nd & 4th Sunday from 7pm-9pm at the CBPM Office. Call 404-HIP-JAZZ for Information. Each one of us has to start working for the World Government for African People established by Marcus Garvey and our Elders/Ancestors. We have to talk about the UNIA-ACL as contemporary and future developments with physical works which leads to self-reliance. Our sovereignty as a people will only come when we are a self-sufficient people. Each event of the Convention began with signing and speaking the UNIA-ACL rituals. One God, One Aim, and One Destiny closed each event. |
