The only way an American would get the name "Lumumba" is by taking it in honor of Patrice Lemumba, an assassinated Leftist head of state from the Congo as it was going through independence. Lemumba was definitely a Leftist--and everyone who talks about him with a straight face here is a Communist.
Over the decades, many pro-Communist American terrorists have been to the school to be taught how to take over a state through Marxist methods--and in some cases, how to organize and carry out terrorist bombings and assassinations.
Ooops, left out what the "school" is: Patrice Lumumba University in Russia, created under the Soviets to train students from Third World countries with ambitions to be in diplomacy or government to love Communism and bring the Soviets to their countries to manipulate their politics and become their military allies and useful idiots.
Countless US terrorists have been through the school--including the Weathermen--and reportedly learned spy procedures and bomb-making methods there.
Chokwe Antar Lumumba took his name from his father who was also mayor of Jackson MS for a few months before he died of a heart attack. The elder Chokwe Lumumba's real name was Edwin Finley Taliaferro but he changed it after he got involved with a black nationalist group called the Republic of New Afrika which claimed most of the southeast U.S. as it's homeland. He probably did get the idea of the name from Patrice Lumumba.
The father, like the son, was a con man & grifter in the mold of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, just not as well known nationally. As long as people like these are running Jackson MS it'll always be a cesspool.
