THE SAGA OF THE JUST IN TIME PEOPLE

Black Literary Weekend Getting An Influx

By The Newport Newservice

May 16, 2007

SOUTHAMPTON COUNTY, VA -That black people have not completely detached from our roots can be proved in many varying ways. The least of the ways is not our concept of time: “Zamani” and “Sasa” is alive and well in North America.

            According to Dr. Mbiti, the author of “African Religions and Philosophy” when Africans on the continent make an appointment for a specific time, they do not mean, i.e. 8 A.M. perse. It is more like about 8 am. Dr. Mbiti goes on to give a great, general consensus of how continental Africans live. Every word verifies that The Honorable Elijah Muhammud was right to teach that time is the master illusion.

            The above was written in order to make a point regarding the 2007 Black Literary Weekend, June 1, 2 & 3 in Southampton County, Virginia. A part of North America that Nat Turner and the Black Liberation Army of 1831 liberated. Liberating the land also meant the Captive Africans at the time was also liberated. A Revisit to the route they marched to achieve such a stupendous feat, is retraced on the third day of the gathering of Independent Black Writers.

            Brother Keidi Awardi,

Sister Dr

. A. Kambon, Dr. Laila O. Afrika, Sister Shahrazad Ali, Dr. Henry N. Anderson, Dr. Kamau Kambon, Sister Amuntyt Khalifah (Judy Carter), Dr. Frederick Newsome, Allah Jihad, Larry Thomas and many, many others will gather at the Khalifah Holistic Retreat to celebrate the most important black writers in the World:  Independent Black Writers.

BLACK BOOK LOVERS COMING TO VIRGINIA

            Confirmed attendees have swelled over the last three weeks leading to the BLW. And as per Afrikan concept of “just in time.” And we know that the last two weeks will bring an abundance of confirmations. At the least, “we are planning, food and other wise, for a last minute influx of 25% in attendance.” So stated Emanuel L. Knight, the overall coordinator of the event. The Holist Health Retreat is on pristine land that Nat Turner actually was born on, slaved on, and planned the revolt on.

            It is not too late for writers, families, friends of Black books and vendors to come to the only gathering of its kind South of Washington, D.C. to Atlanta, Ga. Writers will speak about, sign and sell their books. There will be a Holistic Health Workshop; a Workshop on Using Technology to Promote Our Business, including the business of Liberating Black people.

            And the person largely credited with the success of independently (from mainstream publishers) published books, Sister Shahrazad Ali, whose “Blackman’s Guide to Undrstanding the Black Woman”, created a ground swell of dialogue about Black Male Black Female relationships; and earned millions dollars for many small black business.

            For the 16th year, UBUS Communications Systems & Your Black Books Guide will present Black Book Awards to Black Writers, Black Booksellers at an awards Banquet, June 2, 2007 at 7 P. m.

            Hopefully, all intending to be there will be there long before this years winner of the Carter G. Woodson Awards is called to received the 2007 Black Book Award for the person who impacted the most on the Re-education of the Negro.

          Go to www.khabooks.com, call (434) 658-4934, (704) 509-2226 or (704) 277-1462, or writer blackwriters@khabooks.com for more information.

l
DECEMBER FAST DECLARED BY
 THE HONORABLE
ELIJAH MUHAMMAD
by H. Khalif Khalifah

-----------------------
12/1/07

 This is to say to all within my reach that I still observe the fast that was declared by The Honorable Elijah Muhammad. I have observed the month of December to varying degrees of success for 33 years. I always attempt to participate in it 100% through my every word, act and deed. And though this is an impossibility, the striving have help keep me as close to the straight and narrow path that I am. I have been abundantly blessed by Allah when I forget, go into error or make a mistake. And I have concluded that the grea-test blessing of all is that I turn to The Creator, Sustainer and Cherisher of all persons, places and things for help. So after 33 years of striv-ing, I believe I am in the position in life that I have the best chance of being 100% dutiful dur-ing this month I pray for success for everyone who is participating, ob-serving or sensitive to Black Muslims during this time. Ultimately, I  fast for the power to be a better servant to African people, as we continue to struggle for “Freedom, Justice and Equality”………..Peace, Khalifah, December 1, 2007 I www. reparationswarchest.com

As U.S. political, civil and business leaders grappled with the pressing question of "what to do with the Negroes?" the newly freed Africans cried out immediately for restitution - payback for centuries of stolen labor, cultural degradation and dehumanizations. Indeed, Africans held as slaves have been struggling for a restored sense of wholeness since being brought to this country as chattel.

Other organizations and individuals have carried the demand for reparations farther into the twentieth century. Many of them have become a part of today's Reparations Campaign which is being spearheaded by N'COBRA.
