My Tribute To Phil Africa

Phil taught me various political and survival skills and  strategies that enabled me to overcome the anguish and wretchedness of incarceration and onward to the passageway to become a self empowered , self determined life long learner and  teacher . He inspired me to reach for greater truths and understanding , and never give up regardless of the odds against me.

I along with many prisoners and organizations relied on his wisdom and understanding and inspiration . He embodied the courage of every noble warrior . I am profoundly privileged and honered to have met him and be one of his many students and friends .

Respectfully ,

Tiyo
