      Tomorrow will be the Kebuka commemoration ceremony from 6-9 PM EST

      info:

      We hope all is well, as we announce Akoben Institute’s Annual Kebuka! program, which will be held Saturday, November 15th (6 – 9 PM) at Each One Teach One Institute (1515 Brewer Blvd., Atlanta, Georgia 30310.

      “Kebuka” is a KiKongo word meaning “Remember.” The commemorative Kebuka! lecture event was established after Baba Baruti published his book Kebuka: Remembering the Middle Passage Through the Eyes of Our Ancestors in 2005.

      Now, we come together each year in remembrance of our honored Ancestors who were kidnapped, raped, murdered, maimed, and enslaved during the Maafa – the Great Destruction.

      Over the years, youth in the local community and beyond have participated by demonstrating three of the positions our Ancestors were held in on the ships that brought us to be brutally enslaved in this part of the world.”
