Milwaukee, WI––Africans took to the streets in heavy resistance in the city of Milwaukee after 23-year-old African Sylville Smith was shot and murdered by Milwaukee police on August 13, 2016.

Witnesses said that a cop hit Sylville’s car with his car. Sylville jumped out of the car and ran for his life. The cop, an African who’s name has yet to be released, gave chase and shot Sylville in his back.

BALTIMORE—Once again, the police and media narrative of a State-murdered African is just not true! They lie, they lie and they lie!

They lied about Mike Brown trying to take a pig’s gun when the whole community on Canfield Drive saw him with his hands up.

The lied about Eric Garner resisting as the world witnessed his lynching by chokehold.

This list goes on and on.

Now they are lying about the cameras-off gestapo-type raid on the home of Kodi and Korryn Gaines in a Baltimore, Maryland suburb.

Each August, growing numbers of Africans around the world celebrate the birth of Marcus Mosiah Garvey who was born on August 17, 1887 in St. Ann's Bay, Saint Ann, Jamaica.

The celebration of Garvey's birth date is due to the fact that since the attack on Africa that led to the capture, dispersal and enslavement of millions of Africans and the colonization of Africa, no African has been more instrumental in creating the vision of a free and liberated Africa and African people.

United Kingdom––At the June 23, 2016 referendum 51.9 percent of British people voted to leave the European Union (EU), while 48.1 percent voted for U.K to remain in the EU. This sent shock waves throughout Europe and world’s capitalist centers.

Britain’s population and its leaders woke up on the morning of Friday June 24th to a new environment defined by a nation split down the middle, gripped by shock, disbelief and uncertainty.

According to the feminist movement, the basic principle of feminist thought is that women should be equal to men politically, economically and socially.

Even though feminism did not become a household name until the 1970s, the first wave of feminism was already expressed in the early nineteenth century, mainly in places such as the United States, France and the UK, where we see the birth and emergence of the oldest feminist movements.

To help us to understand that we are engaged in an international struggle, not for civil rights, but for the liberation of our people, I would like to say that this movement that we are a part of––the African People’s Socialist Party––owes much of what we understand to Malcolm X and the work that he did before us.

Chicago, IL—Another African teenager has been murdered by the arm of the State. On July 28, 18-year-old African Paul O’Neal was shot in the back and killed by Chicago police.

Washington D.C.––U.S. president Barack Hussein Obama offered up criticisms of Republican candidate Donald Trump and declared him “unfit” and “woefully unprepared” to serve as U.S. president during a White House press conference on August 2, 2016.

FERGUSON, MO—August 9th  marks the two-year anniversary of the murder of 18-year-old Michael Brown who was killed by Ferguson, MO Police Officer Darren Wilson. 

Witnesses stated that Mike Brown was shot eight times while his hands were in the air. His rotting body was then kept on the concrete for more than eight hours as an example to the Ferguson community of what the police will do if they disobey their orders. 

What the police did not expect in this suburb of St. Louis, MO was resistance from the African working class community. This powerful display of African Resistance on August 9, 2014 marks one of the critical dates in Black August.
