WE ARE SOVEREIGN. WE POSSESS ULTIMATE POWER BECAUSE WE ARE:
EACH OTHER'S HARVEST.
THE BREATH IN OUR LUNGS.
THE LOVE IN OUR HEARTS.
THE POWER IN OUR BLACKNESS.
FOR CENTURIES, WE HAVE WORKED TOGETHER TOWARDS OUR COLLECTIVE VISION OF FREEDOM. BUILDING UP TOWNS, BREAKING DOWN BARRIERS, GROWING COMMUNITY, AND DISMANTLING THE SYSTEMS THAT ATTEMPT TO KEEP US DOWN.
CAN’T NO RACIST LAWS OR LIMITS OF THE STATE HOLD US! EVERY STEP OF THE WAY, RACIST LAWMAKERS, BIG COMPANIES, AND POLITICIANS TRY TO STOP US SO THAT THEY CAN CONTINUE TO STEAL OUR WAGES, OUR HOMES, AND OUR TIME.
HOWEVER, WE COME FROM RADICAL ROOTS THAT DEFY CISTEMS THAT DISENFRANCHISE, DISCRIMINATE AGAINST, AND DIMINISH THE POWER OF BLACK PEOPLE. KUJICHAGULIA! WE STAND FIRMLY AND BOLDLY IN OUR ABILITY TO DECIDE AND GOVERN OURSELVES AND OUR INHERENT ABILITY TO CHOOSE, NAME, CREATE, AND CULTIVATE.
FROM THE HISTORY OF MAROONS IN THE GREAT DISMAL SWAMP, THE WILMINGTON MASSACRE, MORAL MONDAYS, STATEWIDE UPRISINGS, AND HB2.
WE ARE DETERMINED TO BE FREE.
I CHOOSE ME.
I CHOOSE YOU.
I CHOOSE US.
UBUNTU.
