Sankof a- The sankof a bird is an Adinkra symbol f rom the Akan people in West Af rica which means "G o back and f etch it". Much of our history was stolen f rom our
people by wicked devils. It is up to us to rediscover it, and then use it to liberate Af rikans worldwide.

Heru - Heru is a Kemetic deity who is known as the world's f irst savior. When darkness f ell on Kemet and all hope was lost, it was Heru who def eated his enemies and
restored balance to his people. This is where the English term "hero" originates f rom.
Throughout history, great Afrikan civilizations have been threatened by villains from other races who seek to kill us
and steal our precious superpowers. From time to time, an Afrikan SuperHeru is born who is destined to strike a
mighty blow to our enemies. This book contains stories of a few elite Revolutionary Afrikan SuperHerus who
contributed to our fight for liberation.
 Marcus Mosiah Garvey
M arcus Garvey’s superpower is Race First. Race First is the belief that we must put the needs of Black people before any other race
or any other concerns. The idea of Race First unifies Afrikans . Race First makes us strong and unbeatable. M arcus Garvey used his
superpower to begin a movement to buy beautiful ships called “The Black Star Line”. He wanted to use these wonderful ships to take Black
people from the Americas back to our Afrikan homeland. M arcus Garvey wanted to separate us from the wickedness of the white race. He
knew whites loved to hurt us. His organization, called the Universal Negro Improvement Association (U.N.I.A.), was the first group to
unify Black people all over the world. M arcus Garvey fought against white devils and Black race traitors. He wanted Afrikans to love our
beautiful Blackness. He was determined to make us independent of all other races.
 Harriet Tubman
Harriet Tubman’s superpower is Liberty. Liberty is freedom from being ruled by others. After taking her own freedom, Harriet
Tubman used her superpower by returning to the South many times to help guide thousands of Afrikans to freedom. She knew that if the
evil white slave traders caught her, they would kill her. Sometimes an Afrikan would get scared of the punishment for being caught escaping,
and would try to turn back. Harriet would not let them become a slave again. Sometimes she had to threaten them with her gun to make them
continue their pursuit for freedom. She was determined to liberate everyone who came with her, and she never failed. Harriet Tubman even
led a military expedition which freed over 700 Afrikans. This was the largest liberation of Afrikans ever accomplished in America.
 Queen Aahotep
Queen Aahotep’s superpower is Combat. Combat means a fight or the act of fighting. In Kemet, there was a battle to force out evil
devils who had invaded our Afrikan kingdom. Queen Aahotep’s husband fought bravely, but was killed on the battlefield. She would not let
the death of her husband stop her country from freeing itself from the devils. She courageously took his place and led the troops into
combat. Queen Aahotep fought fiercely, refusing to back down. She lost one of her eyes in combat, but even that didn’t stop her. Queen
Aahotep paved the way for the devil invaders to be kicked out of the land, ensuring Afrikan control of Kemet. She was celebrated as a brave
hero by all the men, women, and children of Kemet. Queen Aahotep was a true strong Black woman because she stood by her King and
fought for her race against the devils.
 Hannibal Barca
Hannibal Barca’s superpower is Military S trategy. Military strategy is a plan of action to win a war. Hannibal Barca used his
superpower to beat the evil white romans by outsmarting them. He decided to catch his white roman enemies off guard by taking a
surprising and difficult route to get to them. Hannibal’s army faced icy cold temperatures as they crossed big mountains and deep rivers.
They beat up many savage devil tribes along the way. Hannibal Barca surprised the devils of Rome by showing up on enormous war
elephants, which trampled the devils as Hannibal’s army beat them without mercy. Hannibal’s army killed at least one person from almost
every devil family in the land for the cause of Black Power.
 Queen Nanny of Jamaica
Queen Nanny of Jamaica’s superpower is Ferocity. Having ferocity means being very hostile. As a child, Queen Nanny was
kidnapped from the Afrikan country of Ghana and was brought to Jamaica to be enslaved. When she grew up, she freed herself. She used her
superpower to lead a group of rebellious Afrikans called the M aroons. She taught her troops the art of camouflage, often covering them in
branches to look like trees, easily catching the devils off guard. Queen Nanny ferociously slaughtered the devils that invaded Jamaica and
enslaved Black people. After killing the white enemies, she would proudly make jewelry out of their teeth and bones. She was famous for
her ability to catch bullets with her bare hands. Queen Nanny never compromised and refused to back down. She freed over 800 Afrikans.
 Queen Nzinga
Queen Nzinga’s superpower is Freedom. Freedom means you aren’t under the control of your enemies. Queen Nzinga used her
superpower to keep the people in the Afrikan land of M atamba free and safe. When devils tried to take away the freedom of Queen
Nzinga’s people, she knew she had to fight. She built up her military by offering freedom to Afrikans who were brave enough to escape
slavery and flee to her kingdom, as well as Afrikans who left the devil’s army to join with her army. Queen Nzinga led her people into war
against any devils who invaded her kingdom. Sometimes, she used one group of dumb devils to fight another. The white enslavers kept
trying to invade, but they did not win as long as Queen Nzinga lived. Her strategies were so smart, that today many armies still use what
they learned from Queen Nzinga.
 Jean-Jacques Dessalines
Jean-Jacques Dessalines’ superpower is Ruthlessness. Ruthlessness is doing whatever it takes to reach your goal – even using
violence. Dessalines was a fearless Haitian leader who understood that Afrikans could not live safely amongst their devil enslavers. When
the white enslavers killed Haitians to strike terror into the minds of those who wanted freedom, Jean-Jacques Dessalines would respond
swiftly with acts of extreme violence against the white enemies. His motto was “An atrocity for an atrocity.” Once, after the devils
murdered 500 innocent Afrikan men, women, and children, General Dessalines came up with a plan. He instructed his army to build large
wooden gibbets all throughout the countryside. Then, in plain view of the devil enslavers, his men hung 500 devil leaders directly in front of
the white army’s camp. Dessalines let the cowardly devils know Afrikans would fight back. He went to war to rid Haiti of white enslavers,
and shot any devils that remained after Haiti won independence. His message to the devils was leave or die!
 Yaa & Mwalimu Baruti
Yaa and M walimu Baruti’s superpower is Complementarity. Complementarity is using the differences between two people to
make the pair stronger. Yaa and M walimu Baruti use their superpower to be an unbeatable Afrikan warrior couple. Together, they stand up
against the enemies of Afrika by teaching Black youth about true Afrikan character and warriorhood. They always use their different talents
to help each other in every possible way. Their teamwork allows them to successfully fight the system of racism/white supremacy by
creating the books and educational tools we need to become warrior scholars and Black freedom fighters. Afrikans are twice as powerful
when they marry their Black complement.
 Nat Turner the Prophet
Nat Turner’s superpower is Rebellion. Rebellion is fighting against something that isn’t right. Nat Turner was enslaved by devils in
Southampton County, Virginia. He was very spiritual, and often fasted, prayed, and studied religious books. He was blessed with visions
from the ancestors which told him what to do. He was known as “The Prophet.” Prophet Nat Turner was able to escape from slavery, but
had a vision to go back to complete his divine mission. A while later, he had another vision which told him that slavery must end and that he
was the one who had been chosen by God to lead his people in the war for Black freedom. He was told to slay all white enslavers and end
the system of slavery in America. He organized the Afrikans who wanted to be free and began killing devil males, females, and children. Nat
Turner helped convince devils to end slavery in America by exterminating as many as his army could. 34 years after his war, Afrikans
became free because of his rebellion.
 Yaa Asantewaa
Yaa Asantewaa’s superpower is Tenacity. Tenacity is the ability to never give up. Yaa Asantewaa lived in the Ashanti Kingdom of
Afrika. The Ashanti people had a solid golden stool that united the entire Kingdom. The Afrikans believed the soul of the Kingdom lived
within the stool. One day, devil invaders from Britain tried to take the precious golden stool. They wanted to steal the soul of the Ashanti
people. Yaa Asantewaa stood up against the devils. She promised to protect the golden stool from them. Yaa gathered all the Shamans (holy
men) from the Kingdom to prepare the minds and souls of the warriors for battle. Yaa Asantewaa led soldiers to war against the devils, but
the devils had more weapons than her army. Yaa Asantewaa wisely decided to win by stopping the devil armies from getting food, water,
and supplies. Soon, the devils began starving. They had to eat rats to stay alive. The Ashanti people, under the guidance of Yaa Asantewaa,
put up a courageous fight, successfully keeping the stool safe and maintaining the souls of the Ashanti people.
 Menkepera Tehudimes
M enkepera Tehudimes’ superpower was Terror. Terror is something that scares people a lot. M enkepera used his superpower to
protect his Black kingdom from future devil invasions. After studying history, he understood that devils were a threat to Afrikan life. He
decided to travel into the lands where the whites lived and kill as many devils as he could before they came to attack his Black kingdom.
M enkepera Tehudimes started slaughtering devils in a city called M egiddo. People who witnessed the battle saw so many dead devils that
they said the end of the world would look like this. This is where we get the word “Armageddon” - named after the battle in “M eggido”.
When M enkepera found out that there were more devils than he could kill, he gave them an option. They could submit to the Black God
Amen, or they could die. The devils would scream out “Amen!” to save their lives. Today, many religions from the middle east and europe
say “Amen” to end their prayers because of the mighty M enkepera Tehudimes.
 Khallid Abdul Muhammad
Khallid Abdul M uhammad’s superpower is Inspiration. Inspiration influences people to do new things and think new ideas. Khallid
M uhammad used his superpower to show Afrikans that Black people are Gods and Goddesses, and that all white males and females are no-
good devils. He bravely survived assassination attempts and betrayal by those closest to him to bring us this message. Khallid M uhammad
never stopped inspiring our people to rise up against white european and arab oppression. Khallid believed in self-defense. He is famous
for teaching us about how to deal with the white devil invaders in South Afrika. Khallid said that to kill them one time wasn’t enough to
make up for their brutality against us. He taught that after we killed the white devil invaders the first time we should go to their graves, dig
them up, and shoot them again. Khallid was a brilliant, uncompromising Black leader.
 Who is the next Afrikan SuperHeru?
YOU!
Our ancestors live on through us! We have a divine duty to study and work hard to free Afrikans worldwide. Our Revolutionary Afrikan
SuperHerus have sacrificed so that we can continue the fight for liberation. Don’t let them down. You have the power!
“What became of the Black People of Sumer?” the traveler asked the old man, “for
ancient records show that the people of Sumer were Black. What happened to them?”
“Ah,” the old man sighed. “They lost their history, so they died.”
