Before we proceed with making 2016 a productive and happy new year, it is only right that we–the family here at Melanoid Nation–would like to offer our heartfelt condolences to the family of the Late Great Dr. Frances Cress Welsing.
It was reported that her transitioning occurred earlier today (Jan. 2nd), and the news of her passing sent shockwaves throughout Black Society. Today alone, her name has received the noteworthy status of becoming a trending topic on the Internet and throughout social media. While her legacy cannot be reduced to that of a hashtag, let us realize that today we here at Melanoid Nation have not forgotten her legacy as an educator, author, speaker, and embodiment of a Black woman who truly loved her people.
Her most notable work to date–The Isis Papers: The Keys To The Colors—served as a literary guide that changed the way that we as Melanoid people have to think forever. From etymology to the symbolism found in colors and shapes, Dr. Welsing cracked the code on the innerworkings of the race in America. Her work also shed light on the evil system of racism/white supremacy, and how it is utilized to keep its foot on the necks of Melanated people worldwide.
Dr. Welsing’s work was so prolific, that it was referenced in pop culture. Whether it was referenced in comedic fashion, like the famous “pool scene from the 1992 film Boomerang“, or if it was referenced with more serious overtones, such as the opening lines delivered by Tyrese Gibson in the “intro to the 2001 film Baby Boy“, there is no denying the everlasting impact that the many years of her extensive research and work has not fallen on deaf ears.
Although she was fortunate enough to reach elder status, she remained as relevant now as she was years ago…perhaps her work is even more pivotal to the education and liberation of Melanoid people now. As one of the featured speakers in the critically acclaimed Hidden Colors series, she was reintroduced to a newer, younger audience in recent years by blessing Black Society with her wealth of knowledge that enlightened yet another wave of Black minds in this new millennium.
While everyone deals with the loss of family members in their own way, we want to let it be known that in the gloomiest of hours, the work she left behind shines brilliantly through the veil of sadness and grief. Dr. Frances Cress Welsing has joined the ranks of the ancestors, and everything she’s worked for will not be taken for granted.
r.i.p. to one of our great elders..
I’m still tearing up. Thank you Taroq Nasheed for exposing her to the younger generation. Forever grateful for that. This is Mr.brucewayne823 @IG
A remarkable woman who’said legacy will be timeless. Rest in Peace Mother Welsing.
Rest in Power Great Queen Mother Dr. Frances Cress Welsing, May your Soul dance amongst the realm of the ancestors without any regret or the slightest thought of failure. You’ve left us a catalog for our improvement and we have a great amount of work to do.
I really hope Tariq got the chance to make a interview with her for hidden colors 4. Her book and micheal bradley’s are my top ‘go to books’ about racial war.
She was the only psychiatrist in this country who offered a theorem on racism that defined, broke it down to its origin, structure and core like none other. Her lectures were like being in the classroom as she discussed racism using pictures, tables and illustrations at the
blackboard.
Although, we have no time to cry,
the void that Dr. Welding has left by
her death is deeper than the
Mississippi and wider than the Nile.
It is said that at judgment day our
heart will be measured against a
feather of truth to determine if we
did good deeds. When we stand
before god, he will determine by
ceremony, if we spoke the truth.
Our queen mother Francis cress will
stand before the ancestors and be
declared “maa-khru” TRUE OF
VOICE.
Sister ma’at

I’m so glad Tariq was able to get Dr. Frances Cress Welsing on Hidden Colors 3. Or else I may have never known about her greatness and diligent work. The Isis Papers has changed my perspective for the better. May this great sister rest in peace.
