THE AFRICAN MENTAL EMANCIPATION MOVEMENT(TAMEM)
Manage episode 343531584 series 3358210
Great souls always visit this earth and go but their thoughts never disappear from the minds of humanity. One of such souls is Marcus Garvey.
According to our great compatriot; “We are going to emancipate ourselves from mental slavery because whilst others might free the body, none but ourselves can free the mind. Mind is your only ruler, sovereign. The man who is not able to develop and use his mind is bound to be the slave of the other man who uses his mind.”
The founding fathers of The African Mental Emancipation Movement (TAMEM) are motivated by the words and thoughts of Marcus Garvey and share the same thoughts. We consider ourselves as the descendants and disciples of Marcus Garvey and all black leaders that have worked and fought tirelessly for the physical emancipation of Africans.
We are not doing anything new and different but only completing the emancipation process of the Africans set forth by our forefathers this time not from any mortal beings outside ourselves but from our own mental enslavement.
Without a doubt, it is fair to state that Marcus Garvey was and still is a prophet whose prophecy came to pass and still holds relevance in the lives of the entire black race. The black race everywhere is no longer in slavery or colonialism yet we are not free. We have been given freedom physically but since we have not been able to develop and use our minds, we are still in slavery.
For a very long time, as Africans, we have been yearning for a particular change in our existence from other people. Whiles this search continues unabated from generation to generation, the only thing we have not done is the seeking of the desired change from and within ourselves.
It was the belief in the truth given by Marcus Garvey and through the inspiration and guidance of Infinite Intelligence that The African Mental Emancipation Movement (TAMEM0 was formed.
You are therefore called upon for the sake of our continent and race to join this Mental Emancipation Movement that is sweeping across our great continent and the world at large.
Remember, physical emancipation or freedom can be given but mental emancipation is a matter of personal and deliberate affair. Once again invoking the words of Marcus Garvey, “We are going to emancipate ourselves from mental slavery because whilst others might free the body, none but ourselves can free the mind.”
