- Greenville-Spartanburg-Anderson, SC (1888PressRelease) May 22, 2013 - Trekking ahead with the ultimate goal to further the development of African peoples globally, HRM Oba Adefunmi II and HRM's Yoruba Assembly Movement announce this year's 2nd Annual Pan-African Grassroots Assembly. Motivated by the current and growing negative statistics where African-American youth and families are concerned, HRM and YAM have chosen to dedicate this year's PAGA to rectifying the large stagnant areas of cultural ignorance and amnesia.

We [I] would consider ourselves a member of the new generation that this conference is geared to. We are talking about the children of those first and second generation Pan-African revolutionaries and Black Nationalist pioneers. Now is the time to not only question what our sacrifice will be, but to move on it with FULL throttle force. You know, at this point it is evident that the 'industrialized living' way of doing things doesn't work for our people. Go to college; get a "good" job; who is that working for? Meanwhile blacks and Africans suffer the most! It's time to get out of bed up dear people, organize and use your culture to live the life you were destined to live. -HRM Oba Adefunmi II
