We are into African His­

our minds and hearts that
there will be a year round
quest and' journey to learn all
we can about the history of
Africa, Africans, and African
Americans.
It is time to be alert to the
reality that America in 1993 i
yet to come to gripes with its
racism. However, we need to
come to the knowledge that
while tb fight for justice con­
tinues there is a need to get rid
of the victim syndrome.
It is the syndrome when
you and/or a group of people
do nothing about their condi­
tion, concerns, or problems;
because they are busy dealing
with the opposition!
.. In addition, �s.m�t�y�j5L .
the savior syndrome. That is
when you and/or a group of
people are awaiting someone
or something to ascend and/or
descend from some unknown
location to rescue the person
or group from the evils that
prey on them. There is no
doubt that we should stay
alert and be on guard when it
come to racism and racist;
nevertheless, African Ameri­
cans must forge ahead wi tb
new vision and focus.'

must figbt for justice and at
the same time, take action on
a collective basis to bring a
better day.
We need to take a new ap­
proach tq our problems that
wi 11 also reward and encour­
age th ffort of individual .
ext we must get rid of the
elfhate syndrome. That i
when anyone that looks like
you, talks like you, walks like
you deserves your hostility;
becaus , the one who has the
problem gives negative treat­
ment to those who 100 just
like him or her.
In addition, don't let that
person of a different religion,
different type of name, r i
more u cessful in orne as­
pect of life, and look out for
extreme negr.Tve treatment
and/or reactions.
Americans and African
