The NAAFRA family mourns the loss of their colleague, friend, and brother Nathaniel Perkins-Ali. Brother Ali was one of the founding members of NABSIO.org and NAAFRA.org. Brother Ali will long be remembered as a man with principle and passion for people and life.
On the wall in my living room is a picture of Dr. George Washington Carver, one of America’s greatest scientists to evolve out of the American slavery holocaust experience. Under this picture is a quotation I find most appropriate for the task I have set my mind to accomplish, in seeking the accolade in saying farewell to a dearly beloved spiritual son, fellow Afrikan, fellow million Man Marcher, fellow American Veteran, activist, Co-Founder of the National Association of Brothers and Sisters In and Out (NABSIO), The Black Star University (BSU), life member in the National Association of Blacks in Criminal Justice (NABCJ), member of the Black Wall Street USA, The National Black Children’s Memorial Wall of Remembrance Foundation, Griot Community Incorporated; last but definitely not least, loving husband and awesome farther to his family. In conclusion I find Dr. George Washington Carver’s words spiritually gratifying; “No individual has any right to come into the world and go out of it without leaving behind him a distinct and legitimate reason for having passed through it.” I don’t think anyone among us would argue that my beloved spiritual son Nathaniel Perkins-Ali failed to leave distinct and legitimate imprints on our spirits that know him.
Bro. Nathaniel Perkins-Ali
