Choose to Wear Red, Black and Green on August 13, 2018
Where is the race or nation without a flag? Do they have any pride?
Marcus Garvey is the source for the widely known lyric by Bob Marley: “Emancipate yourself from mental slavery.” During November 1937 at Menelik Hall in Sydney, Nova Scotia, Marcus Garvey said in a speech entitled “The Work That Has Been Done:” “We are going to emancipate ourselves from mental slavery, for though others may free the body, none but ourselves can free the mind. Mind is our only ruler; sovereign.”
Making choices is a form of power. Truly free people make the choice to invoke Hekau or words of power as part of the decision making process. Freedom is a mental state. Power is a function of the will. Free people exude power. Free people will themselves into power through mental exertion. Mental emancipation is demonstrated by choosing to embrace power.
Wearing Red, Black and Green on August 13, 2018 is a choice to demonstrate mental emancipation. Choose to take the #RBGChallenge and celebrate 98 years of Red, Black and Green by wearing #RBG on August 13. That choice is only made by the mentally emancipated.
