"It saddens us to learn of Geronimo's untimely passing. But what is even more disheartening is the lack of knowledge within Tanzania about the man and what he stood for. Some are asking, 'Geronimo ni nani?' and 'Why did he choose to live in Tanzania?' But these are questions that merely scratch the surface. History is a funny thing, often ignored by people who think it's about rote memorization. Other times, the state takes an active role in its silencing, especially when it comes to histories of radicalism, that's if it can't be repackaged into a national narrative that makes the state look good. In either case, Geronimo Ji-Jaga has fallen within the cracks of historical amnesia, making his passing all the more devastating to those who knew him personally and to those who knew him through his written and spoken word" - SETH MARKLE and MEJAH MBUYA on Remembering G: Death of a Black Panther at http://www.counterpunch.org/markle06082011.html
