Baba Kwame Ture was a great leader, mentor and hero amongst Africans at home and abroad. Baba Kwame wasn’t about comprising, deception and manipulation. Baba Kwame told it like it is and we got thank Omowale Malcolm X.
Holy shit he is an amazing speaker. So clear cut and to the point without ever sacrificing context. I put him right up there with Malcom X as a figure that has inspired me and who's words stick with me. When I introduce people to socialism I'm making sure to say his name.
i'm not of African descent but when i was in venezuela in february of 2020 i got to meet many afro communities and in venezuela people call themselves "afro descendents" i thought this was so beautiful and acknowledging of the truth of the diaspora. i try to use this language around friends and people who know me but on the internet everyone uses Black w a capital B so i follow because i see my role as an organizer to uplift and continue building and don't want to allow the nuances to create tension. if anyone reads this and has more to add to this i'm grateful for the engagement because i resonate with this interview so much and the need for a lot of things demanded by Kwame but do not want to go against the current principles of the people i organize with. and yes, organize, join an organization, it is absolutely needed if we truly want to build power
Thank you for sharing your experience. As an African American, I reject the use of black (or Black) on principle because, in the tradition of pan-Afrikanism, I recognize that black does not not reveal who a people are geographically and historically because it is an external label. Also, a lot of confusion is allowed to hide behind the term precisely because it is a social construction that can be and is reconstructed and/or re-assigned by those in power in ways that continue to oppress. Of course, many who identify as black reject being called African either by itself or as a qualifier for American. So, Black allows people to remain conceptually separate from Africa which is why Ture makes the point of calling all who have been racialized as black Afrikans instead.
He talked about how America is native land and that Africans should go back to Africa while earlier having mentioned the Republic if New Afrika. It doesn't directly oppose his view but it is different so I'm curious to what his opinion on the RNA project was.
Little did he know that he was or will be walking into an war zion.what we always wanted is a place to call our own.(Town)we don't have nowhere to go.some of us don't want to go we just want a town in America call our town.everyone else have one why can't we.every nation got a town but we don't,that's not fair.
After saying that we are not Black or Negro, the interviewer continues to say those adjectives. We are nouns. A people. Who is taking our liberation seriously? 🤷🏽♀️🤔
yes he did he wrote about it in his book ready for revolution and he also met madam web du bois in china where she asked him to follow her to ghana.and she ended up introducing young stokely to nkurumah president of ghana
I have the honor of having worked as a political secretary for Kwame Nkrumah.He invited me to accept this position during my first visit to Guinea in 1967.I jumped at the opportunity understanding that if I did, just by osmosis, I would know more about the African revolution than most scholars.I met Nkrumah through Mrs. W. E. B. Du Bois. I was in China on my way to North Vietnam, where I would have the honor of meeting Ho Chi Minh. I received a dinner invitation from Mrs. Du Bois, who also was in China, which I didn't know. I was overwhelmed. Mrs. DuBois was full of enthusiasm, full of information. Sometime during the middle of our conversation, she asked, "Young man, have you met Kwame Nkrumah?" I said, "No, madam, I've not met him." And she asked, "Would you like to meet him?" I said, "I'd give my right arm to meet Kwame Nkrumah." And she said, "All right, you'll meet him." I thanked her. We continued the discussion. Later, when I was in Algeria, I was given an invitation to come to Guinea. And when I arrived in Guinea, Mrs. Du Bois happen to be there also. She grabbed me quickly from my hotel and said let us go meet Kwame Nkrumah. At this time, he was co-president of the People's Revolutionary Republic of Guinea. And this is how I came to meet Kwame Nkrumah. Previously, Nkrumah served as Ghana's prime minister, 1952-1960, and its first president, 1960-1966. I remember one of the first lessons that he taught me. I was talking about fighting.One of the major purposes for my becoming his political secretary was to organize the fight so that he could return to Ghana. Of course, I was young. I just wanted to fight, fight, fight. So he gave me books to read
Vanessadora Hill: we’re not indigenous people, if you’re darkish and smooth skin with woolly hair, then you’re an African. Africa have only 2 different races (1)The Hamatic race (2)The Abrahamic race
@Vanessadora Hill It won't thwart the revolutionary transformation that will take place on the African continent. You can define yourself as an "indigenous moe from turtle island" if you want to, the rest of us are going to enjoy the unblocked access to the African material wealth after seizing it back from foreign exploiters, including the U.S. At that point you won't have the resources to be arrogant, then you will be forced by necessity to be an African. O-R-G-A-N-I-Z-E!!
The Indigenous of the planet, the First People on the planet originated in what is now called Africa. It is a contradiction to call us the Indigenous to the planet and say we are not Africans.

Did Kwame Ture ever go to China?
Not that I can recall. He was in Vietnam though and met ho chi minh

Sorry stokley we are not africans,we are the indigenous people of this planet.Miss him so much,wish he was still living.

Vanessadora Hill honestly why can’t we be both the first is indigenous why couldn’t the first be in Africa
