HOUSTON – On Saturday July 24 2010, about 200 people gathered at Emancipation Park in Houston’s 3rd Ward to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the assassination of People’s Party II Chairman, 21-year-old Carl B. Hampton.
The following excerpts are just a small sampling of the many salutations and greetings that came from revolutionary forces from around the world to the 5th Congress of the African People’s Socialist Party.
As a Party that exemplified the unity of theory and action, the resolutions of the Congress covered a broad range of actions that will be taken up following the Congress.
The 5th Congress of the African People’s Socialist Party broke new ground with the adoption of the new Constitution with broad changes to the Party and its structure, including the Party’s name, which is now the African People’s Socialist Party-USA.
The African Socialist International (ASI) strongly condemns the heinous murder of 47-year-old Floribert Chebeya Bahizire - an activist known and respected throughout the Congo for his opposition to the disastrous human rights in Congo - and his driver Fidele Bazana, whose body is still not found. Chebeya and Bazana were assassinated by the repressive regime of President Joseph Kabange Kabila and Police Chief, John Numbi. This double murder occurred on the night of the June 1, 2010 in Kinshasa, Congo.
