maafa reflections…
“By the time we arrived at the Maafa I had only slept for about an hour in the past two days, which was in the car ride on the way there. The night before was our high school homecoming, and I knew I could easily blow it off, but I felt like I really needed to be there and I knew I needed to bring my friends to share the experience. As the morning progressed I started to wake up and the poem and song really hit home because I love doing those things myself. I thought it was weird that I had not heard of it before, because I saw so many people I knew there. The entire experience was a blessing and I was glad to see other people around my age that want to learn about their heritage and culture. It’s like the song said….it is unfortunate that my first language is English and not that of an African tribe.”

“The Maafa was a very enlightening experience. I learned a lot of new things about myself and my friends, even though it was extremely early in the morning and I had a really long night before. I feel like we really should not have complained about it being so early, considering that getting up early one day and being tired for the rest of the week is nothing compared to what our ancestors went through. We all tried to get involved and I loved seeing my friends excited about our culture.”

“The Maafa was a wonderful experience that I wish that every young African American could have. It made me dig inside of myself and remember where I came from. I am proud to say that I am African American. And I am even more thankful to my ancestors who died for me to have that right.”
