Welcome to the John Lynch Afrikan Education Programme

Our Organisation

Retrieving the past for Liberation Now! is our motto and mission.  We are compelled to contribute to the fight for Afrikan liberation for Afrikans worldwide through in the first instance raising the consciousness of our people by implementing our aims. We believe knowing that you are not free is the first step towards the abolition of mentacide - the psychological condition that seeks to delude us and give us a false sense of freedom and increases our lethargy and unwillingness to act against injustice.  We are not an organisation that is structured or operates in a way that typifies a non-statutory (voluntary) organisation. We define ourselves as a group of contributors to the liberation movement. We have a structure that best suits our purpose rather than the purpose of external bodies and agendas. We do not support the arrogant stance which says ‘our way is the right way’ or ‘your organisation is wrong because….’ We see JLAEP as part of a response to the predicament of Afrikan people at home or abroad. We recognise that different strategies and emphasis are needed to form a holistic response to our needs. We therefore are focussed on freeing the mind, body and spirit through Afrikan centred education. We do not work in isolation and align ourselves with key national and international social movements and campaigns that have a clear strategy and focus vis-a-vis aspects of our road towards self determination and total liberation of people, land, resources and minds.

OUR PROJECTS *** OUR ACTIVITIES *** OUR SERVICES

Kwanzaa Karamu

Every year since 1992 we had led the Afrikan community in Bristol in organising the annual Kwanzaa Karamu (feast) which takes place in December every year.  Kwanzaa is a cultural observance constructed and synthesised from various Afrikan traditions that Elder Maulana Karenga brought together in 1966 to form the 7 day observance.  We observe Kwanzaa in Bristol as it represents a return to observing dates within an Afrikan Calendar cycle and provides our community with an opportunity to reaffirm our Afrikan values, celebrate our pride in our Afrikanness and plan as a community how we intend to move forward in rebuilding our culture, power and Nationhood - all lost or severly depleted as a result of the Maangamizi. The 7 day oservaqnce based on 7 core principles ad supported by 7 symbols are further explained in our Kwanzaa section in our main menu.

Regional Affiliates of The Global Afrikan People's Parliament

 

We are an affiliate group of the Global Afrikan People's Parliament .
