“Ethiopia has demanded Britain permanently return all artefacts that originated in the African country but are now held by the Victoria and Albert Museum. An Ethiopian official said the government would not accept them on loan. The declaration comes after the museum – one of London’s most popular tourist attractions – put treasures plundered by British forces from the east African nation in 1868 on display.”

“To come to know ourselves as we were prior to our re-creation by aliens means we will be in charge of our own becoming, the creators of our own consciousness, the creation of ourselves as namers of the world, the namers of ourselves which gives us the power of self-determination and self-direction.”

“Amnesia means an undiscovered self, an emptiness, a self incapable of understanding it’s own motivations, a self incapable of self-direction and self-determination, a reactionary self, a self that does not understand others or the world in which it exists — a fatalistic externalized self. To rediscover one’s history is not only an act of self-discovery; it is an act of self-creation — a resurrection from the dead, a tearing away of the veil, a revelation of the mystery.”

“Being cut off from your past only means that you have gained knowledge at the cost of being alienated, you have gained an alienated knowledge. Alienated knowledge can only be used in the interests of aliens.”

“People who manipulate the past and present manipulate one’s mentality, sanity, contact with reality and the ability to deal with reality. In other words, the manipulation of history creates real effects in the individual’s personality. Our history not being taught to us correctly ensures that our potential will be forever undeveloped as a people and that we will not challenge those who rule over us.”

“A people who do not share history, who do not appreciate the shared experiences that their history represents, are a people who cannot utilize mutual trust, dependability, and so forth, upon which to build an economic social system. Afrikan people who forget their history are a people who forget that they had an economy before the European case into existence. They are a people who forget that their economy was developed and maintained prior to the European imperial ascendancy.”
