Learning how to build Black institutions is one of the most urgent tasks facing Kmtyw today. Nana Marcus Garvey did not beg the New York Times for space. Instead, he created the Negro World. That choice was deliberate. Furthermore, it was transformative. This is the tradition Ɔbenfo Baba James Small carries forward — boldly, brilliantly, and without apology.

How to Build Black Institutions: Strategy, History, and Everyday Action

In this powerful Abibitumi Saturday Seminar Series recording, Ɔbenfo Baba James Small delivers a masterclass in institutional power. He examines historical precedents for building Black institutions while passively boycotting — or actively dismantling — the institutions of non-Blacks. Moreover, he connects those precedents directly to the choices we make today. Every purchase, every platform, and every school our children attend is a political act. As a result, knowledge of this history is not optional — it is essential.

Baba Small moves with precision. He does not simply recount history. He hands you the blueprint. In addition, he challenges every Kmtyw listener to move from information to transformation. This is Abibifahodie in practice — not as a slogan, but as a daily discipline. Most importantly, this seminar reminds us that our ancestors already solved these problems. We must study their solutions and apply them now.

Abibitumi exists to make this level of scholarship accessible to Black people everywhere — scholars, students, parents, and community builders alike. This recording is available for just $20.00. However, its value extends far beyond any dollar amount. If you are serious about Abibifahodie and committed to the liberation of Afrikan people globally, this seminar belongs in your collection. Watch it. Study it. Act on it.
