Honoring Mandela on World Human Rights Day




The synchronicities abound. 


We honor Nelson Mandela on World Human Rights Day.





Until the philosophy which hold one race superior 
And another 
Inferior 
Is finally 
And permanently 
Discredited 
And abandoned - 
Everywhere is war - 
Me say war. 

That until there no longer 
First class and second class citizens of any nation 
Until the colour of a man's skin 
Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes - 
Me say war. 

That until the basic human rights 
Are equally guaranteed to all, 
Without regard to race - 
Dis a war. 

That until that day 
The dream of lasting peace, 
World citizenship 
Rule of international morality 
Will remain in but a fleeting illusion to be pursued, 
But never attained - 
Now everywhere is war - war. 

And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes 
That hold our brothers in Angola, 
In Mozambique, 
South Africa 
Sub-human bondage 
Have been toppled, 
Utterly destroyed - 
Well, everywhere is war - 
Me say war. 

War in the east, 
War in the west, 
War up north, 
War down south - 
War - war - 
Rumours of war. 
And until that day, 
The African continent 
Will not know peace, 
We Africans will fight - we find it necessary - 
And we know we shall win 
As we are confident 
In the victory 

Of good over evil - 
Good over evil, yeah! 
Good over evil - 
Good over evil, yeah! 
Good over evil - 
Good over evil, yeah!

Happy Nelson Mandela International Day: Exonerate Marcus Garvey!


Today is Nelson Mandela's 95th Birthday. Happy birthday Madiba! In his honor, today has been declared by the United Nations as Nelson Mandela International Day. In recognition of the former South African President’s contribution to the culture of peace and freedom, let's take action to help change the world for the better, and in doing so build a global movement for good. 

Lets Make Every Day a Mandela Day by giving 67 minutes of our day to take action and inspire change. 67 minutes represent the 67 years Nelson 
Mandela devoted his life to the service of humanity. 

As the spokesperson for the Coalition for the Exoneration of Marcus Garvey, I am urging my readers to sign the petitions for the exoneration of Marcus Garvey, a spiritual and intellectual mentor of Nelson Mandela.
