Part 2
"The deepest thoughts from the deepest mind set upon change and revolution comes from the Womb of the Spirit African-American women come from. Through Sankofa there is hope, the possibility of the opening of their wombs to Creation and her creative processes. It will be unlike the debasing concepts of conformity to self destruct and in the end of her life-death-resurrection experience her children will rise up and call her blessed as they raise their own children to be adults. It can happen; it will happen after the awakening of the powers women carry in both of their wombs. If they can escape the clinches of the Black Church there is the chance that African spirituality and the indigenous spirituality of our Red ancestors will resurface to come forward, not as ghosts, but action, reconciliation, recapitulation and cause the re-birth of ceremonies we all need, and redesign the old, but effective rituals needed for the times we live in, and the times to come.
When these things take place we will be in a better place to kill the white man's construct within us, and become ourselves.” - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 11.17.14
