If you do not understand racism (white supremacy) and how it works, everything else you understand will only confuse you. - Neely Fuller

We need something to clarify everything for us, because we get confused...but if we use the concept of Asili, we will understand that whatever it is they are doing, whatever terms they use, however they come at you, you need to be thinking about what? How is this going to facilitate their power and help them to dominate me? -Marimba Ani

Henrietta Lacks World History Science Poem
Unity Consciousness #432

.

History tells us, no matter how much assails us, Africans, by their nature, are the healthier people in genetic makeup and constitution. Africans weaken themselves by adopting non-traditional African practices that stray away from the teachings of the Ancients. I'm talking about the Ancient civilizations that were ancient before Kemet was born. History tells us, African blood from Henrietta Lack's HeLa cells, helps cure all people. In the same way, through understanding the metaphors, the many forms of Henrietta Lacks will help heal her original people who detoxify and follow the ways of her effectiveness.

Henrietta Lacks World History Science Poem

by Ancestors through Usiku


Cells from Henrietta Lacks is where this giant step begins
On her HeLa cells all modern medicine depends
Before HeLa cells it was difficult keeping cells alive
But now medical research and drug companies thrive
HeLa cells gave DNA research a firm foundation
Along with chemotherapy, the human genome and in-vitro fertilization
In 1954, three years after Henrietta Lacks died came the polio vaccine
But without HeLa cells it would have taken longer to complete that dream
The African woman is in everyone's blood
Henrietta Lacks cells are life rafts in a pathogen flood
To keep us above water a little while longer
As understandings coalesce in each child the stronger
Blood, water, son and daughter she purifies
Activates genetic expressions spiritual high provides
To expose and depose each leprous pathy
She overflows and rejuvenates as again will Hep-ur Hapi
