Prince Andrew Williams Jr., inducted on August 1, 2020 by HRM
Eze Dr. Amb. Chukwudi Thenetu, Eze Ndigbo Ghana (King of the
Igbo People of Ghana) and the Council of Chiefs was born on
April 24, 1958 in Macon, Bibb County, Georgia. That was just
weeks after the All-Africa Peoples Conference was conceived to
include social groups, including ethnic communities and anti-
colonial political parties and African organizations such as Labor
Unions and other significant associations in the late 1950s and
early 1960s both in Africa and the Diaspora such as Europe,
North America and South America.
The All-Africa Peoples Conference was conceived to represent the position that Africa
should be returned to the peoples and groups, such as ethnic communities, from who it
was grabbed by colonialism. The idea was mooted in Accra April 1958 by John Kale from
Uganda. This was at the end of first Africa Heads of State Conference in Accra Ghana in
March 1958 that included Kwame Nkrumah, leader of the newly independent Ghana.

2. The first African-born Prime Minister of Ghana, Kwame Nkrumah was a prominent Pan-
African organizer whose radical vision and bold leadership helped lead Ghana to
independence in 1957. Nkrumah served as an inspiration to Martin Luther King, who often
looked to Nkrumah’s leadership as an example of nonviolent activism.
It was a phrase accredited to Nkrumah that helped shape Andrew’s life on and after April
4, 1968 when Martin Luther King was assassinated and Andrew’s mother, Ruby Lee
Williams, sat down and with him “the talk” that most Black mothers have had to have with
their sons about how to behave when you are inevitably stopped by police, so you don’t
become another statistic.
However, in Andrew’s case, he was threatened and bullied by the same elderly white
female clerk at the corner pharmacy who had been selling Andrew comic books and
newspapers from other cities for many years, who told Andrew to “keep your dirty hands
off of reading stuff or you’ll end up like that nigger King”.
So Ruby told her son that he had been born in a place where people from Europe, in
another part of the world had traveled to Africa, where our people were from and brought
here hundreds of years before where they had killed and robbed the land from the people
who lived here first.
She said that when Dr. King stopped talking about civil rights and started talking about
human rights, the white people and government in America might have had him killed like
they killed African leaders because they were afraid they might have raised up colored
people around the world together, in what she called “the struggle”.

3. She told me to keep reading and learning all that I could but to make sure that I survived
to carry on the struggle as long as I could, but to understand that I could not do it with
hate in my heart for the Europeans or pity for the Indians because my life’s blood was
mixed together with theirs too. Instead my “struggle” was to find some way to reconnect
our different races as a family because, she said, at one time everybody on Earth had
come from Africa and that we are all one human race. “You are not an African because
you are born in Africa. You are an African because Africa was born in you.”
Well, I did keep reading and learning and was inspired by what I read in the Los Angeles
Sentinel Newspaper in 1973 to move to Los Angeles, where Tom Bradley had been
elected Mayor of a city with a diverse population from around the world that seemed to
be a place where I could find ways to connect those here with their families and networks
back home so that we could work together to make the world a better place.
After graduating from high school in 1975 I moved to Atlanta to begin a series of
management trainee positions in various sectors, including retail sales, security,
restaurant management, and the parking induction that helped me prepare for the move
to Los Angeles in 1980. My first visit was to the Leimert Park area where I opened my
first business address in Marlton Square Shopping Center – a few blocks away from
where the Los Angeles Sentinel would later be situated.
Little did I expect, a few years later to launch from Leimert Park the P.A.R. Referral
Network and begin writing a 100-page Entrepreneurial Survival Handbook that was
published in 1990 as the predecessor to researching and writing the PAR Export Trading
Company Executive Summary published in 1999, that motivated Global Business
Incubation’s Chief Researcher, Paul McDonald to become my mentor and inspiration for
the rest of his life and mine.
Ten years later, after my appointment as one of the first 200 Facebook Ambassadors by
Globcal.net, Paul appointed me as Zero Time Solutions Facilitator for GBI, GBI Emerald
Veterans, GBI.systems and Urban Futurists, introducing me to Bermudian Corin Smith,
GBI Chief Know-How Officer, who became and continues to be my key thought-partner.
Corin, in turn, recruited me as the only non-Bermudian member of the Emperial Group’s
Sanctum Think Tank which was incubated by RootCause.org in the development of the
Strategic Operational Understanding for a National Development System (S.O.U.N.D.S.)
of Sanctuary addressing grassroots solutions for Bermuda’s hard core and underserved
communities. We have since adapted the model for the Leimert Park and Crenshaw
Corridor areas of Los Angeles which face many of the same challenges.
During my trips to Bermuda in 2012 we devised “The Kwnzaa Accord” 50 year social
contract to reconnect the African Diaspora with the African Union’s Agenda 2063 during
and beyond this First Ten Year Implementation Plan 2013-2020, starting from the original
founding place of Kwanzaa, Leimert Park.
PROPOSED PLAN OF ACTION (USA, GHANA AND THE WORLDWIDE DIASPORA)
Leimert Park, the last African American cultural hub west of the Mississippi is also the
Diaspora cultural hub with many immigrants from the Caribbean and Africa. It’s subway
stations on the Crenshaw/LAX Transit Line opening in 2021 will for the first time bring
millions of travelers from the airport through this community, which can become either an
oasis for African culture or a fatal victim of the gentrification already occurring.

4. The Sankofa Passage and People’s Walk of Adinkra Symbols outside the Vision Theatre
could become major tourist attractions for Pan-African visitors and the area could be
developed with investments from Africa to make this a world renown center for African
culture on the West Coast, i.e, an “AfriKwanza” Renaissance.
With the right planning we could together do the planning and promotion necessary to
uplift Traditional African Leaders and culture around the world with Ghana and Los
Angeles being the magnets on either end through my role as Prince Andrew Williams Jr.
