Greetings,

I have been a frequent viewer of your page. Today, I have decided to drop you a line or two to express my appreciation on the article about Dr.Melaku Bayen and John Robinson.

I came across both names in the past. However, I was never aware of the depth to their contribution to Ethiopian and their tireless effort to bring back the two members of one family, Africans at home, and Africans in the Diaspora.

I wonder if many of us know that it is partly due to their contribution that we continue to have a country we call ours today, Ethiopia.

Having read these two men’s contribution and others, I am ashamed of the prejudice towards African-Americans by some, if not many, Ethiopians in the Diaspora. I am also aware
of the fact that their conduct is simply an outcome of ignorance; especially of their own history.

I hope more Ethiopians will come across article
similar to this one.

Best regards

Ezana

Give thanks and Ises – energizing information which will give further encouragement to ones and ones struggling to work closer together to effect unity and solidarity so as to improve and enrich our lives globally.

THE EWF, INC., is very much alive.

Look forward to Millennium 2000 in Ethiopia.

One Perfect Black Love.

We do ourselves and that GREAT Man a grave injustice by separating and segregating ourselves based on our designated dropoff during the Middle Passage. We originate from one blood and if we do not stop the intolerance long enough to see the light we shall be lost, like so many before us, and worst still; we shall lose future generations. There are many differences among IandI but the greatest similarity is our true heritage. “Africa for the Afrikans at home and abroad”

Be Blessed and Strengthened to perform the monumental task that is upon us; Unification!!!

“It is truely the time when chicken come home to roost”; as some may remember that is a quote made famous by Malcolm X, and now is the time when we must make this powerful connection and the link of brothers and sisters coming together and putting aside all petty differences, so that we may address some of the many economical and social issues that plagues the Black People of the World.

As Ras. Tagass King, has stated in his communication, we have made the link and should press forward to make the best of these powerful experiences that we’ve shared. At the Howard University Campus, I was blessed to represent The Ethiopian world Federation at the 100 years of Ethiopian/American relationships, that was a beautiful experience where I made links that have proved to be very beneficial in both social and economical strengths; I shall continue to push for a RENASSISANCE OF THE STRENGHTS THAT AWAITS OUR BLACK FAMILY, AS SOON AS WE CAN STOP THE GAP FROM WIDENING, we truely need each other, and we are who we have to work with, now is the time. I will make every effort to make contact with the editors and publishers as I made the initial contact at Standford University Campus in; Palo Alto, California during another Centenary Celebration in December 2003, where I, along with three other members did go and represent The Ethiopian World Federation; it is safe to safe that they know much of our existence and will certainly be able to make this connection even greater.

To add even greater results, the message that Ras. Tagass-King was the same one that was shared at both campuses, where there was quite a unique audience of professors, students, business men/women. Both events were filled with professionals from all walks of life. I am looking forward to continue this REVIVAL, as we all need it so much.
