"In order to deprogram Black people, we must promote the truth and benefits of kinships ties,"
we believe the Lunda people were totally correct.

The Journey of the Songhai People Robinson, Battle and Robinson

In the book, The Destruction of the Black Civilization, by Chancellor Williams states, "No people in African history used the concept of kinship ties more effectively then the Lunda in the remarkable expansion of their empire. Even more remarkable than the territorial expansion of the Lunda empire was their idea of a nation as one big brotherhood."

We call this idea- The Idea of Familyhood."

" A culture is a total way of life. It embraces what people ate and what they wore; the way they walked and the way they talked; the manner in which they treated death; greeting the newborn."

According to Cheikh Anta Diop
Cultural Identity can be divided into
three factors:

1. An Historical Factor

2.A Linguistic Factor

3.A Psychological Factor

"Every attempt to reinforce or modify the cultural personality must consist of carefully studying the appropriate mode of action on these three factors. perfect cultural identity corresponds to the full simultaneous presence of these factors on the individual."

The Historical Factor is the cultural cement that unifies the disparate elements of a people to make them into a whole...the historical conscience, through the feeling of cohesion that it creates . Constitutes the safest and the most solid shield of cultural security for a people. This is why every people seeks only to know and to live their true history well, to transit its memory to their descendents...

"The essential thing, for people, is to rediscover the thread that connects them to their most remote ancestral past. In the face of cultural agression of all sorts, in the face of cultural disintegrating factors of the outside world, the most efficient cultural weapon with which a people can arm itself is this feeling of historical continuity."
