…I wish to seize this opportunity that has been given me to direct your attention to the gravity of the responsibility which has been entrusted to you – that of the transmission of knowledge to young generations of our community. Looking over history we are quickly drawn to the fact that our nations have declined, and, as a result, our communities. This is intimately tied to national sovereignty and especially to the loss of control of our educational systems which assure the transmission of understanding from generation to generation… It is also the classical technique of domination, of colonization, throughout history, to destroy and to weaken the historical consciousness of a people who become dominated. All the factors which reinforce that consciousness are taken away, taken out of the instruction so that progressively the dominated nation becomes amnesiac.Cheikh Anta Diop made these statements about the intergenerational Afrikan worldview in a speech given at Moorehouse in 1983. It is recorded in Great Afrikan Thinker edited by Ivan Van Sertima (319).

" When you go back into the past and find oout where you once were,then you will know that you weren't always at this level, that you had once attained a higher level, had made great achievement, contributions to society, civili-zation, science and so forth. And you know that if you once did it, you can do it again, you automatically get the incentive, the inspiration and the energy necessary to duplicate what our forefathers formerly did. But by keeping us completely cut off from our past it is easy for the man who has power over us to make us stay at this level because we were always at this level, a low level. That's why I say it is important for you and me to spend time learning about the past so that we can better under-stand the present, analyze it,m and then do something about it" (Malcolm on Afro-American History).

Many Afrikans in America have been imprisoned for their political beliefs and actions ... some of them for 30 years or more An excerpt from an Angela Davis Essay "Political Prisoners, Prisons, and Black Liberation" provides a clear definition of political prisoners.
".....overt violation of the laws of the land converge around an unmistakable common denominator. At stake has been the collective welfare and survival of a people. There is a distinct and qualitative difference between one breaking a law for one’s own individual self-interest and violating it in the interests of a class of people whose oppression is expressed either directly or indirectly through that particular law. The former might be called criminal (though in many instances he is a victim), but the latter, as a reformist or revolutionary, is interested in universal social change. Captured, he or she is a political prisoner."
