" Bandele was a man of principles, Bandele was a worker, Bandele was a man who loved African People and Humanity, Bandele loved Africa more than anything  and his work to unify Africans made a trememdous impact on the Dallas and Global Commnity.

We will miss him, says Akwete his wife,  he fought imperialism until his eyes closed for his final nap."   Bandele like Garvey would say, "Look for me in the whirlwind or the storm, look for me all around you, for with God's grace, I shall come and bring with me countless millions of freedom fighters, who have died fighting the exploitation, and oppression of working people and the millions in Africa to aid you in the fight for Liberty, Freedom and Life".

We salute our brother for his consistent and courageous contribution to the Liberation of African People
Bandele said, " When MLK spoke of the Promise Land he was'nt speaking of America or some seat in the heaven, but The 'Promised Land' of African people worldwide is
'A United States of Socialist Africa',"
