The power of a name.
You without a name with roots are powerless.
You who does not understand or know the roots of your name are powerless.
History matters, for it helps you know who you are and who your are not. Without knowing your history, especially that of your name, your are powerless.
Gwendolyn Midlo Hall passed away on August 29, 2022, at the age of 93. She is remembered at Whitney Plantation in Louisiana, where two long walls bear the names of every person she found — 107,000 lives, no longer forgotten. The most profound impact of her work is the most personal. Families — for generations separated from their history by the deliberate erasure of slavery — could now search a database and find an ancestor. A name. A face in the darkness of history, finally brought to light. She gave them back their names. And in doing so, she gave us all a more honest history. Source X (@Mr_Husky1, The Husky).
Culture matters, for it helps you know the context of your roots and the true meaning of your name. You with a cultureless name are powerless.
On this day commemorated “Heroes Day” and I public holiday in Uganda, my mind is flooded with thoughts of everyday heroes.
Ordinary people, against all odds, doing the best they can and thriving.
