AFRICA UNITE: Moammar Gadhafi

" My Native American blood speaks in a clear language to me as do my African ancestors. There is something I, and we don't know to ask about the death of Moammar Gadhafi. In the life and theme of the General are secrets, answers, and questions with the capacity to knock powerful forces to the ground, and into the open sunlight! Just because the American press, and the American government have made their statements and shown certain images in brief flashes of insight doesn’t mean I, and we need to accept their presentations as the testament, the gospel of politics in Africa, or the definitive facts about a complex man: Moammar Gadhafi. I see something just beyond my intellectual grasp missed because of my lack of focus on Africa in recent years.


Vanity Fair and Time magazine are displaying photo galleries of Gadhafi with subtitles written by sneering columnists. Why are fashion statements forming public opinion for international politics? Africa is key to development and stability of Western countries, and the stability of the global economy has roots in Africa. What happens in Africa affects the world, and we are sporting naiveté, and having victory dances? I am missing something because I haven't done my homework." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories
