    TRIBUTE TO OUR S/HEROES VOLUME II "A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture, is like a tree without roots." Marcus Mosiah Garvey (1887 - 1940) In the UK every year we celebrate BLACK HISTORY MONTH during the month of October. In the United States, our Brothers and Sisters celebrate it every February. Black history is with us every second, minute, hour, week, month and year. TRIBUTE TO OUR S/HEROES attempts to enlighten you with what they never told you in your history class. Our story will be told right here - So enjoy the journey of clarification. GATHERED BY SAMUDA SMITH PUBLICATIONS and PANTHER NEWSLETTER “God and Nature first made us what we are, and then out of our own created genius we make ourselves what we want to be. Follow always that great law. Let the sky and God be our limit and Eternity our measurement.” Marcus Garvey “If you have no confidence in self, you are twice defeated in the race of life.” Marcus Garvey "Our people have made the mistake of confusing the methods with the objectives. As long as we agree on objectives, we should never fall out with each other just because we believe in different methods, or tactics, or strategy. We have to keep in mind at all times that we are not fighting for separation. We are fighting for recognition as free humans in this society." Malcolm X "For the freedom of my 22 million black brothers and sisters here in America, I do believe that I have fought the best that I know how, and the best that I could, with the shortcomings that I have had.
