No sooner do we get through Kwaanza and the BCS when we are confronted with the ramp up to Black History Month.

This years theme is for every African American to either identify or adopt a tribe in their homeland, Africa.

American Indians all know their heritage and if asked can tell you immediately which tribe they are from. We, the pround participants in Black History Month want each and every Black American to be able to have that same tribal bond.
So either find out or just adopt a tribe. There are a number of tribes looking for new members. Unfortunately others, such as the Zulus (known as the New York Yankees of tribes) are full up and aren't taking new members.
So start that research or lobby the federal government to do the research for you thru your AFDC program.
Have that great tribal experience, Rwanda style.
