So when they killed that twenty-three-year-old boy in Milwaukee last night, it wasn’t some mistake, any more than it was when that white man killed that child in Huntsville, Alabama.

Why did that white man kill the child? Why is there a George Zimmerman? Why do we have the Ku Klux Klan and all those other entities?

Because that is the way this whole entity was created. Because in England and France and European places where you had a  movement from feudal control.

September 17th and 18th, 2016, let this be a date to go down in our movement’s history. It was the historic 25th Anniversary convention since the founding of InPDUM in Chicago of 1991.

It was held on the grounds of the 2014 African uprising, Ferguson, Missouri, in what could’ve been considered the safe haven for Africans at the time: Greater St. Marks Church.

Not only was the location of this event significant in making the 25th Anniversary Convention a success, it was also convened by the newly elected international executive committee comprised of African women: Membership Chair Akile Anai, Economic Development Coordinator Adisa Dokubo, Secretary Daraja Haki, under the leadership of President Kalambayi Andenet.

I would like to thank you sister Njeri for extending the invitation to Uhuru movement to attend this important commemoration.

I would like also to extend the greetings from our Chairman Omali yeshitela and the central Committee of the African peoples Socialist Party to all of you present in this commemoration.

I would also like to salute the memory of sister Mawusi aka as sister Patricia Chambers.

Colonised people do not die naturally. Colonialism and neo-colonialism are the direct causes of our problems in our entire lives.

One of the things, that I certainly tried to do on yesterday with this conference was not simply to lay out the fact that we are consolidating this National Black Political Agenda for Self-Determination. Not simply talking about what we’re going to be doing coming forward. But also struggling to place what it is that we’re doing, in some, political context, because obviously, everything that we’re talking about requires struggle against white power, imperialism. And that is important.

But sometimes, imperialism doesn’t come in its own face. In fact, increasingly, over the last two or three generations, it has been extremely difficult for imperialism to step forward in its own face. And because of this, we’ve seen the emergence of what Kwame Nkrumah characterized as neocolonialism.

Mustafa Bearfield Jr., a 16-year-old teenager living in Huntsville, AL was on his way to school on June 21, 2016 when he was gunned down and murdered by white vigilante, Jonathan Scott only seconds away from his destination.

Terence Crutcher, a 40-year-old African father of four children, was murdered in the streets by white female cop Betty Shelby on Friday, September 16, 2016. The State doesn’t care about how righteous Terence seemingly was, or how many children he had; the police’s function is to kill Africans. And their representatives are united in that task.

As Charlotte police continued to battle courageous Africans in the streets of Charlotte, North Carolina, a Negro cop was caught shedding a tear.

The African cop was asked by Africans protesting in the streets whether “his job was worth the black lives killed.” It was at that moment that a photograph captured the cop crying. 

Africans in the Democratic Republic of Congo came together to protest the extended neocolonial ruling of President Joseph Kabila on Monday, September 19, 2016. What began as a peaceful demonstration turned deadly as police shot at protestors with live ammunition.

Black people from throughout the Unites States will descend on Washington D.C. for a historic two-day Black People’s Convention and defiantly declare independence from the predatory Democratic and Republican parties on November 5th and 6th.

This powerful convention themed, “The National Black Political Agenda for Self-Determination” will be held by the Black Is Back Coalition for Social Justice, Peace and Reparations two days prior to the U.S. elections, and will illustrate the heights which the struggle for African liberation has reached.

We will say, “damn the Republican and the Democratic parties” and their white agendas and put forth our own agenda for black self-determination and black power.
