How can our People so desperately seek Sanctuary . In the very lands that kept us hostage in our struggle? . . And what good are their open doors . When I must enter them in secret, still? . . The Sun will one day set . Upon a Wakanda . In which we are all Free... . . . from ‘A Remembrance for Passing Dreams’ by @calvinwilliams3 in ‘Black Freedom Beyond Borders: A Wakanda Immigration Anthology’ by @wakandadreamlab .

“Is what the Diaspora Talking Drum network saying true? That if I arrived at the Wakanda border today, joyful song, dance, and ritual carried on the melodies of kora, mbira, and adungu would welcome me?” . . .

“I’m caught in a predicament. I don’t know what will happen if we open our borders. I’m the eldest on the Council and my position holds weight. But how I will use my power to speak, I don’t know. They are looking to Wakanda. Our Black flowers. Scattered on foreign lands, growing in other dirt. The Council of Elders is preparing to meet one last time before we answer. Can we address all the travesties one of their countries, the United States, has wrought with the promise of a new home?” . . .
