The extent of the lead contamination came as a shock to the African community, due to the dangers of the past presence of a huge former U.S.S. lead smelting plant being kept from the them. 

The African communities of Illinois and Chicago are well aware of the effects of lead poisoning which Flint’s Africans are struggling with. They are also fearful and demanding answers as to why the government did not inform them of the severity of the soil toxicity much sooner.

Protesters gathered at Baltimore's scenic downtown harbor to protest the execution of Korryn Gaines and the shooting of her young son, Kodi, by Baltimore pigs on August 27, 2016.

The demonstration was led by the People’s Power Assembly which is a mass organization of white leftist Worker’s World Party. Several speakers took to the microphone to demand justice for the murder of Korryn Gaines.

The African People’s Socialist Party (APSP) was at the event to expose the police terror faced by Africans in the U.S. and to deepen the question of Black Community Control of the Police.

Journalist and author, Dr. Marc Lamont Hill gave an interview to Power 105.1 FM’s The Breakfast Club on August 3, 2016 to discuss current events, most notably the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

Hill echoed what the African People’s Socialist Party (APSP) has repeatedly stated during the entire election season when he said that Democrats are using the possibility of Donald Trump winning the election as a way to scare black voters into voting for Hillary Clinton. 

Police have once again investigated themselves and found that they have committed no crime. This time, in reference to North Miami cop Jonathon Aledda, who shot an unarmed African, Charles Kinsey, in the leg on July 18th.

Charles was lying on his back with his hands up, begging for the cop not to shoot him when Aledda shot him anyway. Charles, a mental health therapist, was retrieving one of his patients, an autistic man from the middle of the street. The autistic man was sitting in the street playing with a toy truck.

The African community of St. Petersburg, Florida came out in droves on Sunday August 21, 2016 for Burning Spear Media’s event, “Black August: Celebrating African Resistance––From Haiti to Ferguson.”

A group of black mothers who are known because of the murders of their children at the hands of police and white vigilantes have been branded “The Mothers of the Movement” by the Hillary Clinton campaign.

The whole world saw the resistance which erupted among the African working class of Milwaukee, Wisconsin on August 13, 2016, in response to the police murder of 23-year-old African, Sylville Smith.

A CBS reporter on the scene of the uprising, interviewed Sedan Smith, Sylville’s brother.

The reporter, who was particularly more concerned about the possibility of Sedan using profanity on live television than the pain which Sedan was certainly feeling as he mourns his brother’s murder, was ultimately left speechless by Sedan’s powerful words.

The Haiti Revolution is known as the most successful rebellion of African people.

It led to the creation of the first African state free from slavery and is an inspiration for African resistance throughout the world.

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.
