Space! The boundless expanse phenomenal is the pallet from which the Creator supreme etched the beginnings of the beginning spoken of as the dawn of Creation. From this void apparent, the illustrious complementarity of sublime energy forces are manifest. One of the several pairs of these energy forces is that of Nun the primeval waters and Naunet of the something. Harmonising beautifully in the rhythmic spirit dance of Creation, this duality is a major part of the vibrational energy origination flow of life to come. Water-flow has been present from the dawn, preparing the way for cascading magnificence of the elements to be. It would be only a matter of time before the marvellous primary people of creation – the Afrikan – emerged.
The primary people of Creation were birthed in liberty and have a divine responsibility to live and safeguard that liberty. From disruptions in the ancient world to the contemporary phase of the Maafa, the attainment and maintenance of Afrikan liberty is of paramount importance. This effort is the responsibility of the Afrikan liberator. The role of liberator surely lies in the being of every Afrikan soul throughout the world. It is the Afrikan liberty imperative that is the subject matter of this account and that is embodied within the powerful Afrikan observance that is popularly referred to in the foreign pseudo language of English as Afrika Liberation Day.

Culture is central to Afrikan life and has been so since time immemorial. Great nations have been established from what can be described as nothing less than the 'highest culture'. However, in recent times, Afrikan history has had major interruptions such as mass displacement, enslavement and colonisation which sought to destroy cultural facets. This has led many to question whether Afrikan people around the world have a culture or indeed a culture to celebrate.
What then is Kwanaa?
This account provides information on the background of Kwanzaa and highlights the depth and meaning of this vital Afrikan World Celebration.

The essence of this publication is to highlight Garveyism not simply as the powerful impacting core of ideals at the heart of the most progressive, expansive and mighty worldwide body for the expression of Afrikan nationhood, which it certainly was – but as a total way of life that many attest to being a ‘religion’ itself. Further, it seeks to highlight that the Afrikan spirit of the supreme visionary Marcus Garvey was a natural divine inheritance from the most ancient of times and this would later find expression in the all pervasive articulation of the attainment and maintenance of Afrikan liberty steeped in Afrikan spirit – that is beautifully enshrined in his philosophy of Afrikan Fundamentalism.

Surely the overwhelming majority of Afrikan people throughout the world today carry the spirit of liberty inherited from their Great Ancestors. There is no shortage of examples from the vast array of mighty ones that were not prepared to subject themselves to an 'existence' filled with the brutal imposition of death, destruction and oppression at the enslaving hands of foreign forces. The forthright spirit of Ajar had a number of great descendents. However, one of the descendants was destined to manifest that spirit of liberty in a magnanimous way....
