We believe that it is absolutely necessary and imperative that we learn to recognize, and effectively utilize, every iota of knowledge and information available to us which speaks of our culture, history, heritage and traditions as a people. We are the "People of the Drum". And the rhythm of the drum has traveled not only from Africa to America, but from heart to heart, soul to soul. To us, the progeny of Shaka and Hannibal, Cleopatra and Neffertiti, belongs the legacy of the Great Black Kings and Queens of Old. Like those Kings and Queens, we must understand and accept our obligations and responsibilities to our people. We must understand and know when it is safe to give battle, and when it is needful to give tribute. We must remember that our ancestors battles were fought both FOR and ABOUT US ! And we must bear to heart that we all must ride into battle when it comes, as a collective force, rather than sporadic pockets of resistance. And so, Sisters and Brothers, THE SPIRIT OF THE DRUM is calling. Do not let it's sound fall on deaf ears.
