Black Africa is the brown, Africa the beige, Africa the total hue of ebony that has more prism of colors than a sunset . . . We are September 30, 2005 Editorial AN AFRICAN MIND SET in many ways tied to Africa not only by pigmentation but by music and art . . . For many, Africa is, and will remain, the citadel of civilization. Black Americans are drawn to Africa not so much by its languages but by its music and perhaps more importantly, its suffering . . . Africa wears its tears in its art . . . it is a continent of nations, and a nation of men and not laws . . . Its beauty is as varied as the thousands of dialects that are spoken by its peoples, it is as hungry as it is poor and as hopeful as its dreams and as rich in natural resources as Saudi Arabia is in oil. . . . It is more white in its thinking as it is black in its resolve . . . Africa should wash-up in your mind the way a high tide does on a beach. . . . World history will not allow us to close the door on our own history . . . Involvement is a necessity and not an option. . . . For many Africans, life is marked by pain, . . . it is a continent of Katrinas . . . of people on roof tops surrounded by waters of opaqueness; adulterated by the choices made by others. —PDD 2 THE METRO HERALD
