History is the single most impactful barrier and obstacle to Freedom - Freedom as an experience or the experience of being Free.
Being Free requires the giving up of or the completion of History.

Liberation is Impossible without Consciousness, Consciousness is Impossible without Reading!
by Baba Asinia Lukata Chikuyu

The more I study the Liberation Struggle of People of Afrikan Descend, the more come into the consciousness that Liberation is Impossible without Consciousness, Consciousness is Impossible without Reading! People of Afrikan Descend in america have been struggling to be free since before 1619. In 2013, we continue to battle for freedom and our humanity despite the claims of america the all men are created equal with certain inalienable rights. Afrikan Truth Be Told, when those words were written, People of Afrikan Descend were not even considered human and that mentality still exist in the hearts of too many americans.
But because too few Black People read and comprehend the sequence of events or timelines of their readings, american propaganda has indoctrinated Blacks into a state of psychological tolerance of subjugation, oppression and mental bondage, all of which are antithetical to liberation and human nature. Somehow, Black People have been made to believe that they came to america on the mayflower. Somehow, Black People have been indoctrinated with an ideology of tolerance of the murder, rape and dehumanization of their grandmama and grandfather without them carrying the same burdens of dehumanization themselves. The idea of Africans being innately inferior to pale-pink people has somehow been deeply imbued into the psyche of Black People, who don’t seem to realize that they are Descendants of those very African People.
And what is the logical consequence of psychological tolerance of subjugation, oppression and mental bondage? For Blacks in america the logical consequence is george zimmerman not facing charges for murdering Trayvon Martin without public pressure being placed on the judicial system that claims to administer equal justice to all. Another logical consequent is Marissa Alexander being sentenced to 20-years in prison for actually “standing her ground” against her enraged and threatening husband, even though no one was injured. The logical consequence of our mental illness of psychological tolerance is a tolerance of a $2million bounty on Warrior Queen Assata Olugbala Shakur for wanting to live free while j. edgar hoover, sheriff lawrence a. rainey, bernard l. akins, other "otha" n. burkes, olen l. burrage, edgar ray killen, frank j. herndon, james t. harris, oliver r. warner, herman tucker, samuel h. bowers, eugene “[pit]bull” conner, byron de la beckwith, roy and carolyn bryant, j. w. milan, billie roy pitts, cecil sessum, charles richard noble, charles clifford wilson, deavours nix, henry deboxtel, james franklin lyons, lester franklin thornton, philip delves broughton, travis buckley, william t. smith, travis buckley, howard travis giles, "dynamite bob" chambliss, thomas blanton, jr, bobby frank cherry, herman cash, raleigh j. (red) glover, o. c. poissot, james edward watts, robert fuller, and e. d. morace were free to live out their lives in part because their crime happen “so long away”. Of course, those of us who are not avid readers and researchers do not know that the above-mentioned murderers, kidnapers and extortionist committed their crimes against Black People, and for the most part, lived out their lives as free citizens with impurity.
Liberation is Impossible without Consciousness, Consciousness is Impossible without Reading!
As our struggle for liberation continues, our best weapon in this battle is our mind. We already know that “A Mind Is A Terrible Thing to Waste”, but not enough of us know that reading impregnates the mind. An impregnated mind is equivalent to bringing new life into the world, which begets liberation. Free Your Mind and see what follows. Read More and Live More! Get to Know Thyself by reading stories about us that are untold. No matter what level of liberation you aspire towards, free and full citizenship in america, free self-governance on the north american continent, or repatriation to our Motherland to connect with our historic roots and independent self-governance, Reading is a necessity. Reading is a definite necessary means for our acquisition of "our right on this earth...to be a human being, to be respected as a human being, to be given the rights of a human being in this society, on this earth, in this day, which we intend to bring into existence...." [El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz]
Only free people can join organization. The FOUNDING FATHERS WHEN THEY FREED THEMSELVES OF EUROPEAN LEADERSHIP formed the USA. Any person who claims to be free and does not belong to an
organized society is not free. Freedom of Association is in the animals' kingdom. All animals belong to their group except Africans who choose to belong to someone else organization or choose not to belong to any organized group of communities of his/her people because of fear put in us during the great hplocaust. If you do not know your history you are a lost animal walking in the wilderness of the European and Arab world. The African cannot be blamed because even our recent history indicates that any efforts to organize us faces obstacle of our enslavers and our own people will do what is necessary to turn in the organizers. What a shame that we have over fifty million Africans in America and there is no evidence of our presense in USA. Think of it. And you call yourself free. Shame to all non members of SADA. We must organize to help our children to own their identify and shed away the European and Arab identify. Not knowing your history is a crime against humanity. Knowing your history enables you to work hard to improve your community and your nation. African consciousness is the key to upliftment of our depressed people.
No one is free in the United States of America if a birth certificate has been filed for them. See

Most of the political prisoners in this edition are African Americans:
http://www.truedemocracy.net/s01/index.html This edition appeared in June 2001. If the whole African American community rallied around these people by supporting the international boycott I set then to free them, they would probably be free now.
Just as an aside, when I met my dear friend Ibrahim Alabi Oridota in Paris, France in 2003, who was born in Benin, he was surprised to see that I have fair skin. He really thought I was an African American because of the way I try so hard to help this community. And most recently when he was in England on vacation, he said, "I can't imagine coming to England and not seeing you." He paid for my journey down to London to celebrate his birthday with his family there in late July 2016. He paid for my entire accommodation there for 4 days so I would be able to stay on to do an interview on the Brexit with my friend in London.
