Consortium of Afro Latino Communities
*In celebration of Black August/Afrikan Liberation Month, I decided to post an excerpt from my second book. The article is titled, "Consortium of Afro Latino Communities". Uhuru sase, y paz. *
"It's amazing how reality can come from fiction. Just look at the effect that science fiction has had on modern technology. Products and devices that were mere flights of fancy in science fiction of yesteryear are now modern marvels the some of us can't seem to live without. As well as in the technological arena, that can also happen in the political arena.
The idea for the Consortium of Afro Latino Communities came about from an (unfinished) fictional piece that I've been writing. The Consortium was developed as a means of regional consolidation to help uplift the various Afro Latino communities politically and economically. The Consortium was to run along the lines as other organizations that practice regionalism such as the Organization of American States (OAS), The Caribbean Community (CARICOM), European Union (EU), and the former Organization of African Unity, now known as the African Union (AU). The Consortium was to work in conjunction with other Afrocentric nationalist organizations throughout the Diaspora to help uplift all African descendents all over the glob politically, economically, socially, and educationally. It was part of a greater blueprint from global Black power.
Considering the recent political climate that we live in, and organization like this is surly, and sorely, needed. The various Afro Latino communities suffer from poverty, limited access to education, limited access to certain natural resources, political disenfranchisement and repression, and more recently, the theft of our ancestral lands by their respective government(s). An organization like the Consortium can help us pool our resources together, and forward our progression in various social and political arenas. We can create business cooperatives for trade and commerce, use our resources to build schools and other educational centers that will teach our children about their history, and amass political power to further our interests in the international political arena, influence foreign policy and investment in Africa. We could be a force in international trade and travel, being able to work and pool our resources along with our international brothers and sisters throughout the Diaspora, all the way to the mother continent of Africa."
