***This text has been fortified — formatted with a simplified expanded table of contents beginning each chapter, strengthened and updated with charts and illustrations, fitted with subject and name indexes, an expanded bibliography, revised endnotes and improved typography for a user-friendly presentation and seamless utilization. The original manuscript numbered over 500 typed pages of which 350 were used. In reviewing the full original work we found certain unused sections could be reworked and re-presented in a future work. Such areas dealing with the historical black family, courtship and parental planning were left out due to at least financial constraints give the time. Black access to the publishing industry was censored and personal computing much in its infancy or not available. – SNP (Editor)

The horrific atrocities that took place in the Congo Free State are often compared to the Holocaust, with king Leopold II of Belgium being compared to the Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. Between 1885 and 1908, Leopold II personally ruled the Congo, in sub Saharan Africa, which was largely unexplored at this time, as only the coastal areas had been claimed by other European countries. He named it the “Congo Free State,” which is rather ironic when you realise what went on there.
The local population was anything but free.
(1885-1908)

We look at how the death of Queen Elizabeth II is prompting former British colonies in the Caribbean to replace the British monarch as their head of state. Antigua and Barbuda's prime minister has vowed to hold a referendum soon on whether to become a republic, and Jamaica's ruling Labour Party also plans a vote. The Caribbean at one point formed the heart of England's first colonial empire in North America, with millions of enslaved Africans taken to the islands, where many were worked to death. Dorbrene O'Marde, chair of the Antigua and Barbuda Reparations Commission, says he is not personally mourning Queen Elizabeth's death because her reign helped to "cloak the historical brutality of empire in this veneer of grandeur and pomp and pageantry." We also speak with renowned Jamaican poet and musician Mutabaruka, who says the British monarchy "represents criminal activity" and that the British state needs to make reparations to former colonies like Jamaica to redress the history of abuses. "Actions speak louder than words," he says.

This is a tune from "The Struggle, The Love, The Glory" and video I produced about a year ago and totally forgot about. You may ask, how could I forget about producing a video, which is a valid question...lol!!! Well 9-11 does not just commemorate the tragic events of 2001, it also is almost one year to the day that I had my, near fatal, tumble off of the road. Although the physical damage was minimal and for the most part quickly overcome, the mental and emotional recovery was a totally different story. (Give Thanks and Praises for those who aided and continue to aid me through my recovery)
Again I urge all of you to spark up the revolution of the mind... Question and demand answers... Think... Love... Live...
One God... One Aim... One Destiny... One Love... (1111... 11:11... E11EVEN...)
