Did you know Del Jones? If not, you missed out on a great warrior. A self-characterized War Coorespondent, his words were as powerful as his presence. He is now fighting for us with the Ancestors. He died on August 8, 2006. Appropriately this warrior shared his birthday with another powerful heavy hitter, The Honorable Malcolm X. I will miss you Del, but I grieve more for you who never got to know him. Get to know him now through his books, tapes and his website, www.whattheproblemis.com. Call his brother's store in Philadelphia, PA. Know Thyself Bookstore at 215 748 2278 and order his books and tapes. Free your mind and the shackles will fall! Check him out and be prepared to grow and learn and study and fight!

Del Jones aka Nana Kwesi Abakah Kuntu II The War Corrrespondent
The War Correspondent is not having a funeral. He also is not wanting folk to travel from all over to one spot for a memorial. He wants folk to organize locally. [Isn't that what he always says?] Have something in his honor right where you are. I know that he would be quite pleased if these gatherings include plenty of drumming [doesn't he say "out of the drum we come"?], and good food.Not just, though, for the sake of honoring Del Jones. When the memorials are over, we should be energied and filled with a greater determination to continue the work of liberating the minds, hearts, and bodies of our people. He spent his entire adult life doing that. Please...do not call yourself "honoring The War Correspondent" if you are just looking to party and then go home to do nothing. Del says, "If you're a punk, move out of the way!" Del is quite proud that only serious folk would come to hear him speak. He wants only serious folk to attend his memorials.
