Lunda

What is Lunda?

In the book, “The Journey of the Songhai People” authors Robinson and Battle state, “We strongly believe that along our quest to deprogram the entire society as a solution to the problem that we must project the truth and benefits of Black peoples kinship ties. We believe that the ‘Lunda’ people were totally correct.”

In the book, “The Destruction of Black Civilization” Chancellor Williams, states, “no people in African history used the concept of kinship ties more effectively than the Lunda in their remarkable of their empire. Even more remarkable than the territorial expansion of the empire, was their idea of a nation as one big brotherhood.”

This vision of “one big brotherhood” is what we call “Familyhood.”

Familyhood defines schools as the center of the communities development and its inter-generational governance as the nucleus of this development.

Familyhood is driven by two mottoes:

1)Every school shall have a functioning Student Government Association, Parent Teacher Association, Alumni Association.

2) Every school shall have a garden, a farmer market and a grocery store.
In essence, the organizations of Motto# 1, in collaboration is the school’s Familyhood and together they plan and operate Motto#2’s garden, farmers market and future grocery store.

Lunda.com is another attempt to promote kinship ties and culture.

We call it The Idea of #Familyhood.
The Familyhood Handbook,

One Love!
