My current read is "Live from Death Row" by Mumia Abu- Jamal. This is a great man indeed ; a journalist and also an activist who is constantly fighting for the rights of the African- Americans(even in the confinements of a Philadelphia jail, this man is courageous and continues to speak!)Its amazing, He has inspired me to think critically in social issues affecting our court systems today. Please visit www.mumia.org for more information.
"To move clearly in the present we must understand the burden of our past." Mumia Abu- Jamal.
Now back home, there's much hype about the World Social Forum Nairobi 2007. Its very encouraging to see how there is much awareness about the social issues affecting Africa at this stage and age and how platforms are being provided to discuss these issues. It brings peace to my heart. Viva La Revolu'cion (excuse any typos) To Africa. This is to all the Visual artists, Dramatists, word artists , journal writers, musicians and poets; To all the creative genuises that correlate art to daily living bigups to you.
Let us Stand strongly in our own centre as Africans and live from our hearts.
