Sankɔfa Journey 2009

Monday July 6 - Saturday, July 18

just $3400

led by

Ɔkɔmfoɔ Nana Efia Nsia (Mawiya Kambon, Ph.D.)
Ɔsɔfoɔ Ɔkyeame Kwame (Obadele Kwame Kambon, MA, MA)

Sankɔfa Abusua
Abosom ne Mmoatia Fie

The 2009 Sankɔfa Journey is always Exclusively and Unapologetically for Afrikan (Black)
People Only.

Nana Efia's first return back to Afrika was in 1972 as part of
a group led by the late Nana Dinizulu.

Since that time, Nana Efia has led groups of Afrikans back to Afrika ranging in number from 15 to 500, including one of the largest single returns of Afrikan people back to Afrika
in recent history as the President of the Association of Black Psychologists for their 2000 International Convention in Ghana.

In 1998, Nana Efia took her son, Obadele Kwame, to Ghana, West Afrika to experience the Sankɔfa Journey.

As a result of that experience, since that time, he has gone on to study Twi and other Afrikan languages, earning degrees in Afrikan Languages and Literature and Linguistics.

He now functions as an Ɔkyeame (Interpreter/Spokesperson) for his mother in addition to teaching Twi and other Afrikan Languages professionally.

The Sankɔfa Journey of July
is a very special journey
encompassing committed and intelligent
people from various places
and various walks of life
converging in Afrika
to experience
Sankɔfa!

Every year

a very special group of Afrikans

experience a journey

that they will never forget.

A journey back to Afrika.

A journey within.

Experiencing The Sankɔfa Healing Journey...

Becoming Empowered by the Experience of Sankɔfa

Why: "As Afrikan warriors/parents/elders we are the first teachers of our Afrikan children, we are the foundation upon which our mma (Akan for children) will stand. It is only we that must be their teachers. It is only we that can teach them the value system of their nananom, the social system of how to function in accordance with their ancestral inheritance, on how to function as Asafo. It is only we that can socialize them to be responsible, disciplined and committed Afrikans who are ready to uphold the honor of their Nananom by any means necessary. We cannot leave Our children in the Hands of our Enemies and expect them to be devoted to RE-Afrikanization, we cannot leave our children in the Hands of our Enemies and expect that they will not be brutally traumatized by their psychopathic insanity.
We must collectively develop a strategic plan to protect our children in these catastrophic times of WAR and in this age of neo-colonialism and imperialism. As we know and as Our Baba Mwalimu Baruti has stated “there are casualties in every war”, however, we must make sure that those casualties WILL NOT be Our children ANYMORE. With the advent of intense family dysfunctionality, separation, divorce, domestic abuse, child molestation and abuse, social services intervention, single parents living in poverty, massive incarceration of many Afrikan fathers and sons and so much more ongoing mentacide and genocide affecting our communities, we cannot continue to ignore the effect these traumatic conditions are having on Our Afrikan children and on Our ability to raise healthy warriors who will take the baton of Afrikan Liberation into the next stage of Our Evolution.

A major part of the Soul-lution in my humble observation, as an Afrikan mother, is the Re-Store-A-Nation and Re-Construction of Our extended family system, when we knew that what affects one Afrikan family would also affect the WHOLE community. For the sake of the Survival of Our children, we must make a commitment to Family Reparations, RE-pairing and Healing the Family Nucleus from within."

A continuing part of our Abibitumi Kasa fundraiser:
http://www.abibitumikasa.com/fundraiser.html

Why: "It has been said that 'power is the ability to define reality and have others respond to that definition is if it were their own.' Further, the reality of today is based upon the concepts and theories of yesterday. These are concepts that are eternally linked to a specific culture. A specific language with a specific history. According to Ngugi wa Thiong’O 'language carries culture, and culture carries...the entire body of values by which we come to perceive ourselves and our place in the world.' It is said that, 'the one who prescribes the diameter of your knowledge determines the circumference of your activity.' In other words, 'a cow grazes where it is tied' and 'cattle is only as good as the field in which it grazes.' How WE are able to and choose to conceive of the world is mediated by language. It is through conceptual incarceration within the prison of an alien language designed and intended to serve only its master, that the alien is able to shape Our destiny by shaping Our very thoughts. It is said:

watch your thoughts for they become your actions
watch your actions for they become your habits
watch your habits for they become your character
watch your character for it becomes your destiny

As it is individually, so it is collectively. For it is said that 'the actions of one generation become the history of the next generation. The actions of many generations become the traditions of a people.' Afrikans in general and Diasporan Afrikans in particular have endeavored to re-conceptualize the world through language. Oftentimes, lacking other options, through the language forced upon US. However, it is said, 'the dog does not prefer bones to meat, it is just that no one ever gives him meat.' WE are the long awaited hunters. 'You are the slave of the one whose handcuffs are on your wrists,' WE are the long awaited liberators. WE, entrusted by Our ancestors. WE, the guardians of Our languages, hold the key to re-conceptualizing reality for the best interests of Afrikans throughout the world, Continental and Diasporan. That WE may speak Our reality into the future; that WE may shape the destiny of Our children, of Our children’s children, of Our children’s children’s children, and for the still more beautyful ones yet to be born."

Who: Internationally Renown Spoken Word Artist Heru

Andre Grant, Attorney

Patricia Hill, Author and Former Officer

David Lemieux, Detective, Author and Former Actor (Spook who Sat by the Door)

Michelle Thomas, Two Time Victim of Chicago Police Department

Why:

Background:

On the evening of June 25, 2007 at 9:45PM, Obadele Kambon and his pregnant fiancée, Kala Mujibha, were stopped by the Chicago police allegedly for a broken turn signal light. Without explanation, Obadele and Kala were told to get out of the car and were unlawfully searched, handcuffed, and detained by the police while the car was illegally searched without expressed or implied consent and without probable cause. Though Obadele safely transported an unloaded weapon in a closed container within the trunk of his car with papers of ownership, the police confiscated the weapon, arrested Obadele, and impounded his car. Because the police had no probable cause to perform the illegal search in the first place, they decided to manufacture probable cause out of thin air. In an untruthful report, the police claimed that in stopping Obadele and Kala they visibly saw the weapon in the cabin of the car. Furthermore they said it was loaded, allowing them to pursue felony charges. Due to the lies of the police and the malicious prosecution of the state’s attorney, Obadele now faces a serious felony charge with a minimum of five years imprisonment...more

PARTICIPATE!

What to do:


1. Make A Financial Contribution to Obadele Kambon’s Legal Defense fund- go to http://www.abibitumikasa.com/Legal.php

and follow the instructions to make a contribution to the paypal legal defense fund online, or send your contributions to the following Address:

Obadele Kambon Legal Defense
C/O PO Box 1256, Wendell NC, 27591 (773) 696-5765


Because of these concocted charges, Obadele has had to postpone his wedding, incur costly charges of legal fees, vehicle impoundment, bond and more totaling more than $10,000. In the 1960’s the police used the underhanded tactic of draining individuals and organizations that were doing the work of our people through various means; physically through false incarceration, monetarily through trumped up charges, emotionally through harassment and terrorism and more. Their tactics have not changed. Have we changed our response?

For More Information and on various ways you can support Click Here: http://www.abibitumikasa.com/Legal.php

Goals & Outcomes

Goals:

1. To raise the funds needed for and after the trial to help offset the costs of legal aid, impound fees, bond, etc. The police do not ask whether or not you had a wedding planned or a baby on the way or need funds for business operations dedicated to the advancement of Afrikan people.

Outcomes:

Obtaining of funds so Obadele can move past this travesty so he can continue doing the work of liberating our people.

Greater level of education and activism surrounding issues of police corruption and the prison industry in Chicago, the united states and the world.

Back to top of page Background: On the evening of June 25, 2007 at 9:45PM, Obadele Kambon and his pregnant fiancée, Kala Mujibha, were stopped by the Chicago police allegedly for a broken turn signal light.

Furthermore they said it was loaded, allowing them to pursue felony charges. Due to the lies of the police and the malicious prosecution of the state’s attorney, Obadele now faces a serious felony charge with a minimum of five years imprisonment. Obadele Kambon, who has given so much to our communities, now needs our support. Our young, brother-warrior has been an uncompromising fighter and activist for the Afrikan community all of his 28 years of life. He has not only acquired five Afrikan languages, but has taught these languages of our ancestors to Afrikan communities all over the world; including Ghana, The Gambia, Senegal, the U.S., Canada, Belize, Australia, and England. In Chicago alone he currently teaches at seven institutions from pre-school to middle schools to alternative high schools to the university level. Our brother, who has taught our youth and adults how to defend themselves as a Capoeira instructor and Outdoor Survival instructor in Chicago and Mississippi, and has started an Afrikan Language Institute and Afrikan Liberation Forum online to provide our people with courses, resources, and information for the purpose of our re-Afrikanization, can face five years in jail. As a PhD candidate, who has never had any prior criminal records in his life, Obadele is now being erroneously accused of having a loaded weapon in the cabin of the car. This concocted story filled with holes changed the scenario from a case of transporting a weapon in a manner consistent with federal guidelines to a trumped up aggressive unlawful use of a weapon charge with the potential to enact harm to the Black community which he serves. What do lack of probable cause to search, illegal search tactics and blatant lies on a police report and in front of the grand jury get the Chicago police? A day off of work and a monetary bonus for finding a weapon. While the story of the police couldn’t be further from the truth, we know who the real criminals of our communities are…. The Chicago police department is notorious for their brutal and unlawful acts of harassment and murder within our communities. The reported death toll since 2000 is 85 from shootings alone much less the deaths as a result of Jon Burge-like murders from torturous police interrogation methods that go unreported. We can only imagine the number of innocent lives that have been lost physically, spiritually and emotionally in Chicago alone due to acts of genocide and false imprisonment at the hands of the Chicago police. According to the Chicago Reporter, a reported 45% of police who have been involved in wrongful death lawsuits were previously sued for police misconduct; in some cases multiple times. Obadele Kambon’s case is a case of gross police misconduct. Will the police go unchecked in their lies and misconduct only to be the next officers to take liberties and innocent lives as in the case of the recently disbanded Special Operations Section (SOS) of the CPD? The Prison Industrial System has increased arrests of our brothers and sisters claiming the lives of thousands of our youths. These police officers, often backed and supported by the legal system, have gotten away with the murder of our youth and the murder of the souls of our youth through incarceration with impunity. Meanwhile, many of these incarcerated thousands of our people have been wrongly accused but do not have the funds to obtain the proper legal aid needed to protect them from this nefarious system. Let’s not allow this corrupt system to stop another of our sons from doing the work of liberation for our people! Support Obadele Kambon as he faces trial on December 10th 2007!

Support by attending the Dec. 10th trial: The trial is being held in an area outside of Chicago that is notoriously racist. A large presence would be an empowering influence for Obadele, and will send an effective and powerful message to the court. The more people of our community present in support of our brother the better. Let them see how many people are in support of Obadele and against these corrupt actions!

Mekyea mo, Mo ki yin, Naka ngeen def?

For all Afrikan (Black) people, this is a personal invitation and YOU are invited to a FREE Class of Yoruba Online, Wednesday October 10, 2007 and Akan Online, Thursday October 11, 2007 and Wolof, Sunday October 14, 2007. Akan and Yoruba are 7-9 PM EST and Wolof is 4 PM EST.

Inspiration is showing people possibilities. We at AKALI want to show YOU what is possible.

Sooooooo...next week, AKALI welcomes you to experience, hear, see, and feel something your soul has been waiting for.

A reconnection to Afrika and the language and wisdom of our Ancestors and other Afrikans from throughout the country and the world who are embarking on the same path!

This first class is free and open for all <> to come and experience the place where ancient proverbs stories and the sounds of our ancestors meet live video and audio streaming.

This will be the introduction class to the full 8 Week session for Akan and Yoruba which will culminate in final class presentations.

AKALI brings this and more to you so that you too may understand the voice of our ancestors.

This kickoff session will be used as a time of introductions and also to get Afrikans acclimated to the software. For those who choose to register for the full 8 week session, you can also get a partner to keep you posted on the latest happenings in case you may arrive late or miss a class, and to familiarize yourself with the learning environment and the 2500+ learning resources currently available through AKALI.
