Although it has been quite a while, my fascination and admiration of Princess Kofi and the community founded in her honor still flourish. I still maintain contact with the Church’s members and am happy to state that the Sanctuary and the two remaining buildings that were threatened to be demolished last year are still standing! This community’s history and its members’ faith and diligence have really allowed me to witness the true power of God and how diminutive man’s threats are compared to His power. Although the buildings still stand the battle continues. I have been told and have seen for myself that the city still considers the buildings condemned and threaten to demolish them. The members have informed me that they are still diligently trying to raise funds to repair the buildings but they know that God will bless their efforts and restore the buildings made in the Princess’ honor who dedicated her works to Him. I will do what I can to help them.
Meanwhile, I will also like to take the time and acknowledge
the 150th anniversary of the abolishment of slavery in the United
States of America. It was on January 1,
1863 when President Abraham Lincoln formally declared all slaves "forever free".
This monumental occurrence should never be forgotten. For centuries, Africans
had to endure suffering in a country unknown to their own. Many cried out to
God and longed to return home and be free. These Africans were the physical forces
that helped build the United States we see today and should forever and always be
remembered and given honor. This also all
ties into the works of Princess Kofi as she was sent by the Father of Jesus who
remembered the cries of the slaves and to tell their descendants that it is
time for them to return home. It is
absolutely AMAZING to me that more African Americans
are not recognizing the Princess during this monumental time…yet we honor main
stream blacks for their efforts in
gaining rights in America. What
about the slaves who wanted to return home? Have we forgotten about them? Is
that just the past? Why are so many African Americans quick to look down at the
continent in which they
originate? Why do so many African Americans disassociate themselves from Africa
and do not want to be considered African but just Black Americans? These are
the questions not only African Americans, but Blacks all over the world should
ask themselves in regards to their roots. Why is Princess Kofi not readily
recognized as she should? Is it because her message is too
controversial even though it is from the same God all Christians CLAIM to
serve? These are questions we must think
about and answer. I must admit that I
never really thought about this myself before discovering Princess Kofi and
Adorkaville, but as the song goes, I was blind..but now I see…….
SPECIAL NOTE to our European Americans who fought with our beloved ancestors for their/our FREEDOM especially during the Civil War…and to our Scottish ancestor Dr. David
Livingstone with his/our African body guards, Susi, Chuma, Amoda, Abram, Mabruki, Jacob Wainwright and Majwara. Also, Englishmen William Wilberforce and
John Henry Newton and many others.....Thank you!
