Back to About “Maroon and Build For Self”

The African Blood Siblings is named after Onitaset Kumat’s poem.  That poem’s second-third homages Claude McKay’s poem “If we must die.”  Claude McKay was a poet-member of an organization named the African Blood Brotherhood.  But “Siblings” is less gendered.  :)

Please click the “African Blood Siblings (Poem)” page for the full-text of that poem.

“Whoever does not inform his children of his grandparents has destroyed his child, marred his descendants, and injured his offspring the day he dies. Whoever does not make use of his ancestry has muddled his reason. Whoever is unconcerned with his lineage has lost his mind. Whoever neglects his origin, his stupidity has become critical. Whoever is unaware of his ancestry his incompetence has become immense. Whoever is ignorant of his roots his intellect has vanished. Whoever does not know his place of origin, his honor has collapsed.” -- 15th Century African Poet (Timbuktu)

SmallNanny

Queen Nanny — One of three ABS Guides, Nanny defended the Maroons of Jamaica and restored African culture. To this day “Nannytown” stands as a testament to this Queen’s devotion to us. She is one of the three national heroes of Jamaica.

"She was invincibility, my Queen
Much like Cudjoe, daunting Coromonti
She frightened stiff the foes of liberty
Raising our Maroon Town, Queen Nanny"

"To labor for Africans because they are Africans is an African's noblest work."

As to deserving, know that the gift of Heaven is free; this gift of Knowledge is so great that no effort whatever could hope to ‘deserve’ it.

WOFORO DUA PA A -- "when you climb a good tree"

"Woforo Dua Pa A, na yepia wo" or "When you climb a good tree, you are given a push." -- African Proverb (Akan)

(Donations go toward Needs)

Pay for what you need; for all else impedes
As this fault fruits the faults in our seeds
That “the Negro pays for what he wants” leads
Miller’s next phrase, “and begs for what he needs”

"By our hands alone shall we be free"

"To make steam effective you must bind it up in an engine; to make water serviceable, you must harness it in a mill; to make electricity manageable, you must mask it in a battery; and to make men useful in reformatory or remedial work, you must recruit them into an organization." -- Charles W. Anderson

Patriotic Ngola Nzingha"

SmallTaharqo

Taharqo — One of three ABS Guides, Taharqo came from Ethiopia–Africa–to give the last defense of Egypt (KMT). He and his family restored African culture in Egypt too–re-opening temples that were closed by the Asian invaders.

"How do I convince you of your greatness?
This whole world was created by your blood.
You are the descendant of the 'Blameless'
The deified: History's most beloved."
