Author Description

The author has created the first modern black civil numeric perpetual calendar since the invention of the ancient Ta-Merry [Egyptian] Calendar created in the year 4236 B.C.E. The work is in three volumes. The ancient Ta-Merry Calendar was the first ever civil-numeric calendar used by man. The ancient Ta-Merry Calendar had its development rooted in the history, and experiential needs of the black people living in the Nile Valley. Likewise, the Nu African Calendar is rooted in the experiential phenomena, which is the history, experience, and needs of the African-African People in the American Hemisphere, and may be used by black people the world over (including the Mother Continent of Africa) because their experience of enslavement and oppression and outrage is intertwined with, and existentially the same as that experience of the Nu African diaspora in the Western Hemisphere. The Nu African Calendar is the first concrete unilateral cultural expression of black peoples need for self-determination, according to author since the creation and founding of the African-American holiday Kwanzaa, according to this books author. Dia Sekou Mari-Jata, the author of this extraordinary workd also believes that like Kwanzaa, the Nu African Calendar has the potential to become institutionalized in the lives, and cultural celebrations of the African-American People in the entire American Hemisphere, and even in Africa.
