It is a New Afrikan holiday that synthesizes rich principles of faith found in several traditional Afrikan spiritual traditions, most especially the Akan and Yoruba traditions, and of course, Ma’at. Resplendid in its colors of black and gold being pure water sweet, this New Afrikan cultural holiday alternative was given to us by the immortal Khallid Abdul Muhammad. Bro. Khallid developed Gye Nyame in November 1995. It was first celebrated on November 27, 1997 in Cleveland, Ohio by some 500 Pan-Afrikanists of a study circle called Egbe Nyame. Bro. Khallid’s youngest son, Farrakhan lit the candle in the first Gye Nyame ceremony. Gye Nyame is New Afrikan in that it was forged to help Afrikans captive here in amerikkka return to the Afrikan philosophy and the original Afrikan way of thinking and doing. It is also New Afrikan in that it consciously seeks to ‘separate’ us from participating in the violently hypocritical holocaust holiday unique to the amerikkkan nation state known as ‘Thanksgiving.’ It is Pan-Afrikan in that it invites every man, woman and child of Afrikan descent to participate. As a ceremony, Gye Nyame was designed to be celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November and to give Afrikan people captive here in the united states a conscious and cultural choice instead of being confined to Thanksgiving....Read More ALSO CHECK OUT: http://www.hip-hop4blackunity.org/ From: RBGz"Last Revolutionary Higher Education Blog":Hip Hop and Politics In Tha Mix: AFRIKAN INSURRECTION MUSIC and T.V. / United Front A RBG Street Scholar Educational Design
