11 Steps: Considerations For Empowering African Centered Organizations

These thoughts are written because the author believes that there are fundamental

steps required in the process of attaining and maintaining African liberation and

freedom for individuals, families, communities and nations. It seems to me that

dogma, class, denomination, race, national boundary, political/economic status and

other like determinants have become the definers of liberation and freedom in

America. No longer can we as Africans living in America and perhaps throughout the

world allow these predetermined factors (created by others) continually determine

past, current and future development of our lives. After ninety-four (soon to be

ninety-five) years of living, I am compelled to demand of myself thoughts and

actions which I believe will uplift, bring power to and unify Africans everywhere.
