The fifth principle of the Nguzo Saba is a dedication to the collective vocation of building, developing, and defending our community, its culture and history. This is done to regain our historical initiative and greatness as a people, and add good and beauty in the world. The hieroglyph Nefer-ancient Egyptian (picture) symbolizes beauty and good. Nia focuses on black people as heirs and custodians of a great legacy, generational responsibility, and joining together for personal and social purpose.
