Welcome to Lunda.com – a site dedicated to The Lunda Magazine I self published around 30 years ago to dedicate some space to some information I was collecting to seek economic solutions for the African- American community. I was given an assignment to find economic solutions for the African- American community by Dr. William Sheftal, then Director of The Business Department at Morehouse College in his “Urban Economic and Public Policy class.
Seeking solutions pointed me to a lot of problems facing the African -American community. In fact, rarely were solutions given to the many problems mentioned.
I decided to research some things that were already working. The Tuskegee Normal School, led by Booker T. Washington became one of the main articles in the Lunda – The idea of Familyhood Magazine.
Founding The Tiskegee Normal School in 1881 and later recruiting Dr. George Washington Carver to direct the Agriculture program and later Thomas Campbell taking this knowledge on the Jessup Wagon or later The Movable School,is one of many stories that connect schools to the communities development.

While attending Morehouse College in Atlanta, Ga, I was given an assignment in my Urban Economic Public Policy class to find economic solutions for the African- American community. Solutions were heard to find. Usually, the narrative is centered around talking about “the problem” and very little time solving the problem.
Realizing African- Americans have just been out of slavery since Jan 1, 1863, I thought, to start my research after 1863 to the present here in the United States, while researching Africa before and during slavery. Books like Up From Slavery, by Booker T. Washington, The Movable School goes the Negro Farmer by Thomas Campbell, Black Reconstruction 1860-1880 by W.E.B Du Bois, The Destruction of Black Civilization by Chancellor Williams greatly influenced my research.
In my pursuit of economic solutions in the Black community The Lunda people came up twice.

In the book, The Destruction of The Black Civilization, by Chancellor Williams, he states, ”No people in African history used the concept of kinship ties more effectively then the Lunda in the remarkable expansion of their empire.”
The book: “The Journey of The Songhai People,” by Robinson, Battle and Robinson.
“We strongly believe that along with our quest to deprogram the entire society as a solution to the problem we must project the truth and benefits of Black people’s kinship ties. We believe that the Lunda people were totally correct.”
