-::{Happy Africa Day/What is Africa Day}::- bit.ly/whatisafricaday17 "On 25 May 1963, Africa made history with the foundation of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) which brought the Continent together. [The organization was rebranded to African Union (AU);in 2001.] Since then, the 25 May has been celebrated widely across the world particularly in Africa to signify Africa’s identity and unity." - AU Website Meanwhile, speaking of "unity" I damn near have to give up the soul of my first born in order to get a Visa to South Africa .... I love the continent but these old-mzungu-imposed borders/rules keep keeping us down. "As Africans are still trying to figure out how exactly to celebrate this cross-continental holiday, perhaps it’s time to get back to the original message behind this day and figure out what it means today. Unity is still a relevant and honorable goal, but making it practical means removing the barriers between nations." - bit.ly/whatisafricaday17 #AfricaDay #FYI #Africa #Melaninville #HappyAUday #TearDownThoseWalls #KenyanBorn
