The African Millennium: Our Time


The African Millennium will start on September 11, 2007.

According to our calendar, it is time to awaken and guide our own destiny. Dr. Ephraim Isaac repeats the Prophet Isaiah’s 3,000 years old message, below, to encourage Africans to rule their fate through declaring economic independence.

“Awake! Awake! Put on your strength! Put on your new beautiful garments. Shake yourself from the dust: arise. Loose your bone from your neck....”

Dr. Isaac stressed the importance of mobilizing the African Diaspora to celebrate the Ethiopian millennium as a way to revive the African Renaissance, which is a network of people devoted to sublimate the consciousness and living standards of Africans world wide.

Purchasing African products, such us the traditional clothing and jewelry, is important in asserting economic independence.

Dr. Isaac is a peacemaker, visionary and teacher. He is the first professor of Afro-American Studies department at the Harvard University. So lets us follow his example and wear African garments.
