Honoring our ancestors... Memorial Day.
In 1965, the Black community in Charleston, South Carolina, was unsettled by the fact that Black Union Soldiers were dumped into a mass grave, and decided to take action.

They unearthed the bodies and gave each soldier a proper burial. The community came together in the thousands (10, 000) to honor the soldiers who lost their lives fighting for us to be free.

Libations is an Ancient African Ritual practiced throughout the African diaspora, honoring and acknowledging the first time, the first ancestors, and the first elements in creation. Libation is known as Kebhes in Ancient Kemet (Egypt).

In this video Elder Atum uses the Kemetic language called the Ren-Kem (speech of the Black) to "pour" Kebhes (libations) honoring the ancestors of the first time (Sep Tepi).

What rituals do you practice to honor your ancestions?
