King, Elders Connect In Royal Visit To Community
by Al McFarlane and B.P. Ford, Editors Insight News, Minneapolis, MN*
Spike Moss summed it up beautifully. "Your Majesty," he said, addressing H.R.M. King Abumbi II, the Fon of Bafut, "for years I have been teaching our children, telling them, 'You are the sons and daughters of kings and queens!' Sometimes it's hard for them to believe that kingship runs in our veins. In a country that enslaved us, robbed us of our freedom and dignity, stole our labor and our lives, and that continues to try to marginalize our culture and distort our identity, it's hard to keep them believing there is something greater in them than all the negative assaults that come from outside. That negativity breeds self hatred and self destruction. That is why our young men are killing each other."
