Journey To The Motherland:



		...I was, then, very pursuaded to "Put my thing down!"

	Finally, I was on the way out of Leimert Park Village to catch a ride downtown when I walked into Sika�s and bought a couple of African outfits. I wore one outfit out of the store, changing from my South African Mandela made in South Africa ~to West African Clothes (South African changing into West African clothes). I was leaving Leimert Park Village headed for the 626 Art Gallery! I ask this brother where I would get a taxi easiest. By this time, I was hearing the unified drums of Leimert Park! The brother happened to be from the African Spiritual Center of Rev Merikara. He then reintroduced me to The African Spiritual Center Senior Queen Mother! We exchanged greetings and I said to her please say hello to Rev. Merikara! Then I heard the Leimert Park Village African drums being played in perfect harmony! We had spoken earlier with a lot of mutual respect! I remember saying make sure you say hello to Rev. Merikara! Then I said please tell me where I can get a taxi the fastest to head for the 626 Art Gallery! Itibari called but he was far away! I all of a sudden wanted to be at the 626 Gallery earlier! He said, I will drop you at the 626 Art Gallery. All the way there we spoke about my book �History To Destiny Through Afrocentric Poetry.� New Orleans, close to his heart, we discussed the challenges to being a Black Man in America. We arrived at the 626 Art Gallery (what a beautiful place in downtown Los Angeles)! The walls are full of the best African and African-American Art, you could imagine! Plush seats, great, beautiful and intelligent sisters; and, intelligent Black brothers were all-over the place. Some were rotating in, and out, of a party and a restaurant next door.
