SOUTHAMPTON COUNTY, VA. - Herman Fergusonhas not only endorsed the Black Elders Conference, scheduled for March 19 &20, 2010 in SouthamptonCounty, Virginia. He alsoagreed to work on the Planning Committee for the meeting.

            Herman Ferguson is a former member of RAM, Revolutionary Action Movement, a politicalexile because of his work in the Black Liberation Struggle during the 1960’s,including Education Chairman for El-Hajj Malik Shabazz’s Organization forAfro-American Unity. He brings a wealth of direct experience in forming organizationsthat serve The Greater National Black Community in North America.That is what the OAAU was about:  it waspatterned after the OAU [The Organization of African Unity). And that is whatNCOBNE is being formed to be about.

            “Malcolm set up the OAAU differently than how he Led in the Nation of Islam,” he said inremarks at a briefing about the work being done to prepare for the firstElders’ conference of it’s kind. “women were included in all parts of theorganization.

            “This was different from the way the leadership was in the Nation of Islam back then.Women led a part separate from the men. Men led parts separation from thewomen.”  Of course, Minister Farrakhanhas since changed that policy. But the point was well taken.

            Mr. Ferguson had been told that the greatest stickling point in the plans for theElders Conference was how to deal with the fact that the Planning Committee wasall male at the time, “but we certainly do not have any ambitions to build anall Male, or Male led Coalition,” stated the Briefer to Brother Herman.

            The main objective of NCOBNE is to establish Systems that “secure, preserve anddistribute the Legacy of Wisdom that was bequeathed to Black people byAncestors who lived in Resistance to White Supremacy.” There is non-other inBlack America, at this time that have epitomized this profile more and longerthan 89-year’s old Herman Ferguson.

            When told the reason why they included Nationalist in the name of NCOBRE, HermanFerguson said: “I think it is a good ideal.”

            Nationalism is and essential aspect of every Human. We were all borne in one nationality orthe other, or others. Humans who try to distance themselves from this fact havebeen impacted negatively by another nationality. But the strains of thisessential makeup is so pervasive, it is subject to being tapped at any time –it is only a matter of what the circumstances and objectives are for “tapping”it.

            Meanwhile besides striving to hold a meaningful, needed conference, The PlanningCommittee aims to be a good example that, at least “one segment of the NationalBlack Community” are coming together to take care of at least one of the needsthat have long been neglected: “Securing, Presenting & disseminating theessential ways and means by which we survived the most devastating crime againsthumanity in the annuals of history.
