John Lynch Afrikan Education Programme.

Retrieving the past for Liberation Now! is our motto and mission.  We are compelled to contribute to the fight for Afrikan liberation for Afrikans worldwide through in the first instance raising the consciousness of our people by implementing our aims. We believe knowing that you are not free is the first step towards the abolition of mentacide - the psychological condition that seeks to delude us and give us a false sense of freedom and increases our lethargy and unwillingness to act against injustice.  We are not an organisation that is structured or operates in a way that typifies a non-statutory (voluntary) organisation. We define ourselves as a group of contributors to the liberation movement. We have a structure that best suits our purpose rather than the purpose of external bodies and agendas. We do not support the arrogant stance which says ‘our way is the right way’ or ‘your organisation is wrong because….’ We see JLAEP as part of a response to the predicament of Afrikan people at home or abroad. We recognise that different strategies and emphasis are needed to form a holistic response to our needs. We therefore are focussed on freeing the mind, body and spirit through Afrikan centred education. We do not work in isolation and align ourselves with key national and international social movements and campaigns that have a clear strategy and focus vis-a-vis aspects of our road towards self determination and total liberation of people, land, resources and minds.
