Universal Parliament in Florence - February 2026

Peace! Following a beautiful and productive Parliament in Florence, we are honored to report that meaningful movement has taken place within the South Carolina Department of Corrections (SCDC) regarding the recently discussed policy implementation. This progress represents years of perseverance, patience, and principled stand by the brothers who have remained steadfast in their conscience choice to live the Culture of I-God.

Perry Correctional Institution has become the first facility to implement the policy and begin structured classes. On March 9th, the first official session was held, marking a historic step forward for those seeking knowledge, structure, and cultural expression within the institution.

As written by Understanding Self Allah: “We opened with a dedication to the God Third Eye All (Hon. James Bell, Sr.) from Orangeburg, Savior Cee, who in the early 2000s made the choice to end his own physical life while in solitary confinement because he refused to renounce Allah's Nation. We all struggled for years, months, and days under persecution because of our conscience choice to live the Culture of I-God. Many of us made it through, but many did not. May the God Third Eye Allah Rest In Power. We Born the Civilization Class in his name. We are all moving in one accord with Allah's teachings, and we all made word is bond to not allow the sacrifices to be in vain. We will Build and Born right and exact for this entire population to cee the truth of Allah World Manifest. More updates to follow. Today we Born a future. Now, we will manifest its full magnificence into existence.” This moment serves as a reminder that the road to progress is often paved by the courage and sacrifice of those who stood firm before us.

As implementation begins, there are still important matters being addressed. During the review of the policy, two Honor Days that were originally listed were omitted, and this is currently being discussed with administration so that the record accurately reflects the culture and traditions of the Nation.

Additionally, discussions are underway regarding institutional volunteers, which will play a key role in ensuring the long-term stability and success of the program. The ability to bring structured classes and our study into these institutions requires coordination, responsibility, and clarity. As these developments unfold, it is critical that everyone involved remain informed and aligned.

Moving Forward Together

What will sustain this progress is unity, communication, and accountability. For this work to continue growing, it is important that we remain on the same page, communicating effectively with one another as well as with the administration at each respective institution. Clear communication ensures that misunderstandings are minimized, expectations are understood, and the work can continue to move forward in a constructive and organized way. Every step forward represents the collective effort of many individuals working in harmony. Communication is not simply helpful, it is vital. It allows us to identify challenges early, address concerns respectfully, and maintain the integrity of what has been built.

The Role of The Fruits of Eden
