• Re-Evaluation of Cultural Nationalism: ORIGINAL CONCEPTS: CHANGE OR TRANSITION
  By: Carl A. Patton, Wed Mar 14th, 2007
  Greetings Brethren: We declare that the African ancestry and/or culture for Blacks throughout the Diaspora is an important element in the quest for Unity and Pan-Africanism. However we cannot re-write history and restore what has been lost. No culture has remained the same when it has been displaced and removed from its initial environment. What is important is knowledge of our past history and not an attempt to live in the past.
• Crisis Black Male: The Conscience of Guilt
  By: Carl A. Patton, Wed Mar 14th, 2007
  As the economic institution of bondage and captivity became a reality in America, the conscience of America and the world contemplated and conceived the ungodly human injustice of servitude. The rise of the Christians to combat this blemish on humanity also produced the religious zealots who blindly excluded the people from “The Land of The Blacks” as creatures of God. Out of this confusion came the Quakers who led the way for the White Abolitionist Movement. Then came the benevolence of the philanthropists to ease the conscience of the capitalists and to continue aspects of control.
