Dr. Tony Martin---RIP
It has recently come to my attention that Dr. Tony Martin, renowned scholar and historian, has passed away. He entered into the ancestral realm this past Thursday, January 17th, in his home country of Trinidad. He was 70 years old, and is survived by his brother Henry Martin, and his son Shabaka Martin.
Dr. Tony Martin was the foremost authority on the Hon. Marcus Mosiah Garvey, and his organization the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League (UNIA & ACL). He has written numerous books and articles about the ancestor and his grand organization, and was also a professor at Wesleyan College in Massachusetts, and at the University of the West Indies: Trinidad.
I have been fortunate enough to read a number of Dr Martin's books on Mr Garvey, and have them among my personal collection. Being an active member of the organization myself, it is required reading to have read "Race First", "African Fundamentalism", and several other titles penned by our beloved scholar warrior, and master teacher. I feel saddened to have never gotten the chance to speak to, or meet our dear brother, being that we are both members of the same organization.
Our dear brother has now become an ancestor. I personally will always treasure his work, and will do what I can to help promote and expose his work to the uninitiated masses who have yet to experience this wonderful brother's work. He is an inspiration to me as a writer, and a consummate advocate for my people.
Rest in peace with our fellow ancestors, dear dear brother.

New Start
Who are we?
WE.....Are the Universal African Literary Arts Movement & Expo.
We are an independent grassroots event aimed at highlighting and promoting the endeavors of African descended peoples in the field and industry of literature: from authorship, to publishing, to distribution.
Now...what does that long-winded explanation mean?
Quite simply put...we're a networking group, and teaching tool. We help independent authors, publishers, poets, and other artists to get the word out to the masses about their various works. We generally send out e-blasts to the members of our Mailing List, informing them of the various literary and cultural functions and events that they can attend to showcase and/or sell their work(s). We seasonally send out e-blasts of our Schedule of Events listing (updated ever so often when new information comes to our attention). We also send out e-blasts helping to promote some of our members' works within our own network.
ALSO.....we have an annual event (that hasn't been so annual) called the Universal Africana Literary Arts Expo (or 'The Expo' for short), where we gather together to showcase our brothers and sisters in the various fields that they occupy: publishers, book clubs, bookstores, comic books, art (graphic and otherwise), magazines, the Black Press, as well as authors and poets. We're even considering including Bloggers....
We have profile pages across the various Social Media platforms; MySpace, Facebook, various Ning.com sites. Since it costs a bit of cash to have your own website, We considered having a blog page as a decent alternative. We wanted an alternative way to reach the masses outside the blog posts on those various social networking sites.
So...here we be.
We will continue to post our Schedule of Events list here; we used to use our Facebook page, but now they are taking away that function. That way, we can keep the masses informed, and those NOT on our Mailing List can have access to this same information. We've been going strong since we first started this venture in 2008; we're looking to continue on strong into the future.
