Not all Ifa practitioners, Iyanifas and Babalawo's are apolitical. In all areas of culture production (in the Cabral sense)we should use our knowledge and skills as a revolutionary tool used to decolonize all areas of our lived experience. #PanAfricanism

Masterful piano performance by the late Hampton Hawes. The second cut on the first side titled “South Hampton” is actually Wayne Shorter’s composition titled “Footprints”. (1975) #VinylRecord #Jazz #piano

Chattel Slavery itself didn't end because of any moral or ethical awakening by European/white peoples but because of capitalism changing from an agrarian age into an industrial age that ushered in wage exploitation. Wage exploitation was more profitable for the ruling class.
Britain didn’t end the slave trade out of compassion.
