[Agya Kwaku]

Thanks for presentation and pdf. Very informative.

[MotherofGod]

Thanks For The Wait. Here is the attached pdf with the highlights from Part 1 of the "Black Mexico" presentation held on April 25th. Read and view the sections that were missed or skipped over in the Live presentation and look at each part with more depth. Remember, the information included in the attachment casually demonstrates Black Aboriginal presence in Mexico by first showing this early presence in Tawaintisuyu (South America), and then it moves northward to Mexico. Much Gratitude and Appreciation For All of Us Who Live For Worldwide Black Kmtyw Liberation. Black Love Reigns Supreme. Give Thanks. Uhuru. Bro Rashad:blacklove:

In "2. Tawaintisuyu" the quote from Wankar Reynaga makes me think of the Dikenga dia Kongo and all the science behind it: the Dikenga consists of Four positions depicting the four positions of Ntangu (the Sun), the Nsi (the Region, the Land) is the Earth upon which the community and its social structure is established (as slide 25 of this presentation shows: http://www.abibitumikasa.com/forums/showthread.php/136154-Dikenga-Discussion-Tribute-to-Kimbwandende-Kia-Bunseki-Fu-Kiau?p=149791&viewfull=1#post149791).

I was happy to see Gaspar Yanga in your presentation, I've read that he came from a royal family of Gabon but I don't know if that's true, there is a district of Gabon named Nyanga though.

It has been alleged that Yanga was a prince or from a royal family in Gabon, Kmt within Mexican cultural institutions but there is no certainty of this. All Kmtyw and Indigenous Black history in Mexico is all being reconstructed as we speak. There are local and more contemporary Black figures whose historical truths are being retold much more accurately than days past. It's All Happening Now. Thanks for the remarks on the subject.

There was a traveling exhibition on Mexico's Kmtyw Heritage framed as the "third root." I saw it when it was in Chicago. Are you familiar with that exhibition and, if so, what are your thoughts? That was my first time encountering the history of Gaspar Yanga (about a decade ago).
