PROVISIONAL
GOVERNMENT
REPUBLIC
OF NEW AFRIKA
NEW
AFRIKAN CREED
i believe in the spirituality,
humanity and genius of Black people, and in our new pursuit of these values. i
believe in the family and community, and in the community as a family, and i
will work to make this concept live. i believe in the community as more
important than the individual. i believe in constant struggle for freedom, to
end oppression and build a better world. i believe in collective struggle; in
fashioning victory in concert w/my brothers and sisters. i believe that the
fundamental reason our oppression continues is that We, as a people, lack the
power to control our lives. i believe that the fundamental way to gain that
power, and end oppression, is to build a sovereign Black Nation. i believe that
all the land in u.s.a., upon which We have lived for a long time, which We have
worked and built upon, and which We have fought to stay on, is land that belongs
to us as a people. i believe in the Malcolm X Doctrine: that We must organize
upon this land, and hold a plebiscite, to tell the world by a vote that We are
free and our land independent, and that, after the vote, We must stand ready to
defend ourselves, establishing the nation beyond contradiction. Therefore, i
pledge to struggle without cease, until We have won sovereignty. i pledge to
struggle without fail until we have built a better condition than the world has
yet known. i will give my life, if it is necessary. i will give my time, my
mind, my strength and my wealth because this IS necessary. i will follow my
chosen leaders and help them. i will love my brothers and sisters as myself. i
will steal nothing from a brother
or sisters, cheat no brother or sister, misuse no brother or sister, inform on
no brother or sister, and spread no gossip. i will keep myself clean in body,
dress and speech, knowing that i am a light set on a hill, a true representative
of what We are building.
i
will be patient and uplifting w/the deaf, dumb and blind, and i will seek by
word and deed to heal the Black family, to bring into the Movement and into the
Community, mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters left by the wayside.
Now, freely and of my own will, i
pledge this Creed, for the sake of freedom for my people and a better world, on
pain of disgrace and banishment if i prove false. For, i am no longer deaf,
dumb, or blind. i am by the inspiration of the Ancestors and the grace of the
Creator... A NEW AFRIKAN!
FREE
THE LAND and WE WILL WIN THE WAR!
