    New on TikTok: Marcus Garvey said, “History is written with prejudices, likes and dislikes.” Too often we’ve been handed stories about ourselves written by those who never loved us. This distortion has left generations drifting without roots, doubting their greatness. In today’s world of endless misinformation, the danger is even sharper—if we lose our history now, we risk losing our future. Reclaim memory by learning the truth about one ancestor and teaching it in your home. Begin today. This meditation shows how biased history erases Black truth, undermines the African diaspora, and feeds misinformation. Marcus Garvey’s words remind us that reclaiming Black history, Pan-African memory, and cultural pride is urgent for dignity and liberation. By centering ancestral stories, we resist falsehood, strengthen identity, and protect the future. What did Marcus Garvey mean by, “History is written with prejudices, likes and dislikes”? He meant much of history has been shaped by bias, erasing Black truth. How does this relate to our lives today? It shows that misinformation continues to distort our past, threatening how we see ourselves now. How can I practice this? Research one ancestor and share their story with your family this week.
