Cultural Icon gives a different look at people and ideas that shape our cultural! I am not the best writer or the smart person by far! But I believe in unity of all people! But especially of African- American who have been through a Holocaust {Maafa} since we have been in America, and look at all the things we have done as a individuals and as a people!

*Tip
Maafa: is Swahili, for holocaust to Africans under slavery from the Arabs and Europeans.
