Harlem, NY––The Black is Back Coalition for Social Justice, Peace and Reparations’ Annual National Conference takes place at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church on Saturday April 9, 2016––only a few days away!
The BIBC is an organization of organizations and individuals who come together in unity towards the goal of gaining freedom for African (black) people.
The free day-long national conference titled “The 2016 Elections and the Struggle for Self-Determination” will be held for the African community of Harlem. There will be panel discussions as well as audience question and answer sessions around the current U.S. presidential elections, the democratic and republican candidates and what it means for self-determination of the black community.
Doors open at 10am, until 7pm EST.
The BIBC has a powerful program in store for the conference attendees with political analysis from Chairman Omali Yeshitela of the African People’s Socialist Party (APSP).
