Story behind the song
The faliure of people to realize that we are all African at the root, and therefore all family, was the inspiration for the song. Additionally the major amount of disrespect that has been endured by Black people since the institution of slavery became permenant in 1619, made the need for a song celebrating the birth place of Black people imperative. This song should be an inspiration to the strong spirit of the Black race.
