High school senior Jelani Masozi was forced by a Gibbs High School 9th grade assistant principal, Mrs. Holcombe, who was accompanied by cop, Grace Womack, to remove her headwrap on Thursday, August 25th, 2016.

The intimidating presence of the police, armed to the teeth with a gun, taser, and pepper spray—identical to the police that murder us in the streets—caused Jelani to feel like she had no other option but to remove her headwrap.

This humiliating, demoralizing request caused her to call the African National Women’s Organization (ANWO) who directed her to put her headwrap back on.

The Uhuru Solidarity Movement (USM) toured the U.S. to hold the historic Days in Solidarity with African People events of October 2016! 

We completed a seven-city tour across the U.S. to build white solidarity with Black Power and organize members of the white community to unite with the growing demand for reparations to African people.

DSAP 2016 commemorated the 40th anniversary of the founding of the African People’s Solidarity Committee (APSC) in 1976, a groundbreaking move by the African People’s Socialist Party (APSP) and its Chairman Omali Yeshitela. 

Reparations to African people is the cornerstone of APSC’s work. 

Black Lives Matter activist Deray McKesson did an interview with the Washington Post on October 25, 2016 where he gave his official endorsement of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton for president of the U.S.

Deray McKesson became famous after the Ferguson, MO and Baltimore, MD rebellions. He was given a platform by colonial media because he gave a watered down and apologetic narrative on the murders of African people by pigs around the country.

He could be seen on CNN and MSNBC talking about body cameras and police reform and has even said that “all cops aren’t bad” when talking about police terror.

The African community of St. Petersburg, FL, led by the International People's Democratic Uhuru Movement (InPDUM), claimed and renamed the street where 18-year-old TyRon Lewis was murdered by the pigs exactly 20 years ago to the date on October 24, 2016.

The historic street-naming ceremony commenced as over two dozen Africans of the community, including the family of TyRon Lewis, gathered in front of the Uhuru House in the evening and marched to 18th Ave to rename it “TyRon Lewis Avenue.”

The Back Coalition for Social Justice, Peace and Reparations is an organization that was begun on September 12, 2009.

We were organized in Washington, D.C. and were compelled to come together for a number of reasons, not the least of which was the election of Barack Hussein Obama some eight months prior.

It concerned many of the founders of the coalition that many people around the world and inside this country would be confused by the fact that imperialism—U.S. imperialism—historically categorized by white nationalism, rape and plunder of the non-white people around the world, would now have a black face.

Kwame Nkrumah was correct when he stated in his groundbreaking book of the same title, “Neo-Colonialism: The Last Stage of Imperialism.”

The crisis of imperialism deepened under the presidency of George W. Bush and made Barack Hussein Obama necessary.

As Chairman Omali Yeshitela quipped, “George Bush created more revolutionaries than Che Guevara.”

The myth of Obama being an extension of the Civil Rights Movement could not be further from reality.

Deborah Danner, a 66-year-old African woman, was shot and killed in her own home by a NY Police Department sergeant, Hugh Barry, in the Bronx on Tuesday.

Last night’s final presidential debates between Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton proved to be the pinnacle of the non-violent contest between the opposing sectors of the white ruling class.

We saw during the two-hour-long #debatenight, imperialism crumbling before our very eyes as Trump and Hillary each pushed their respective agendas, without even a thought given to the African community.

It is even clearer now that the time is ripe for Africans to forward our own political agenda, say “forget 'em both” and #vote4BlackPower!

The imperialist first lady of the United States had some powerful words for Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump during her speech at a Hillary Clinton campaign event in New Hampshire on Thursday.

Obama was emotional as she expressed how repulsed and deeply disturbed she was after hearing Trump’s sexual comments.

Although I find Trump’s statements somewhat problematic, it cannot stand up to U.S. president Barack Obama’s detrimental and deadly actions against Africans and other colonized people around the world.
