RECLAIM WHO YOU ARE BY ALWAYS BETTING ON BLACK
As one of the Diaspora's most ardent Pan-Africanist speakers, Bakari K. Lumumba is a dynamic personality and highly-sought-after resource to inspire unity, economic empowerment, self-pride, and legacy building
for African brothers and sisters in every corner of the world.
ABOUT
More than "Just a kid from Dayton," Bakari K. Lumumba is a scholar, educator, lecturer, speaker, and proud Pan-Africanist who combines his life experiences and life's work to help you, "Always Bet on Black."
After getting in trouble with his third grade teacher for writing a report about the Nat Turner revolt and demanding why he and his classmates did not learn about (real) Black history, Bakari K. Lumumba started on a life-long journey to reconnect with his roots.
He discovered the philosophies of Pan-African leaders like Marcus Garvey and Patrice Lumumba, and became a part of the Pan-Africanist movement to help others find solace in belief that unifying Black people through all facets of life improves the morale, wealth, and sense of pride within the culture.

Is Pan-Africanism Dead?: The Relevancy of Garveyism in the Twenty-First Century: The Politics of Black Self-Determination in the Southeastern United States
The growing disillusionment amongst Africans in the continent and throughout the Diaspora towards an ideology that has promised so much but delivered so little has caused Pan-Africanism to be seen as an antiquated model of resistance to global white hegemony. This stance has also caused many to question the efficacy of the philosophies and opinions of Marcus Garvey in the age of globalization, in which the forms of oppression African people face have evolved through sophisticated social structures that produce contradictory forms of consciousness. Moreover, the pessimistic undercurrent toward Pan-Africanism that permeates the African world leads one to ask the question, is Pan-Africanism dead?
