African People’s Socialist Party (APSP)

Donald John Trump was inaugurated as the president of U.S. on January 20, 2017. He became the 45th president to take office.

He began his inauguration speech by thanking the past U.S. presidents that were present at the ceremony, including Barack Obama, whom Trump claimed a fierce opposition to during his campaign.

This shows that Trump is aligned with imperialism and simply used backlash against the black president to consolidate the white working class.

African Liberation Day 2017 will mark the 45th anniversary of the founding of our African People's Socialist Party (APSP) and the first African Liberation Day mobilization in the United States. During this period, our Party has stood as the vanguard revolutionary Party of Africans worldwide. For us, ALD has never been simply a celebration, but a means to push forward the struggle to free Africa and African people around the world. 

We boldly proclaim that, “since our inception in 1972, our Party has functioned as the primary custodian of the African Liberation struggle. We have summed up all the lessons and contradictions of our revolutionary Movement to reunite the African nation and liberate and unite Africa and African people worldwide under the leadership of the African working class.”

The African People's Socialist Party (APSP) held its 2017 Plenary on January 7 through 9, 2017 at its headquarters in St. Petersburg, FL. 

The theme for this year's Plenary was “Putting Revolution Back on the Agenda.”

The Plenary was a revolutionary experience in every sense of the word as over 100 comrades traveled from all around the country and as far away as the Caribbean (Bahamas) and Europe (Sweden). The three-day Plenary was filled with political education, dynamic reports of the Party’s work for 2016, a variety of cultural performances and even an African naming ceremony.

It’s December 11, 2016, and the doors to the Akwaaba Hall are unlocking at 3:30 PM. One African man strolls in, signs his name, enters the room and takes a seat in the second row.

Following suit are two, three, four more Africans from the South side of St. Pete; mothers with their children and fathers carrying grocery bags filled with items for the delicious Karamu (feast in Swahili).

Kundé Mwamvita, an African woman and single mother of five beautiful children, struggles in every possible way to take care of herself and her children.

Kundé is the mother of 16-year-old Dominique Battle who was murdered with her two 15-year-old girlfriends, La’Niyah Miller and Ashaunti Bulter on March 31, 2016 by the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Department.

January 2017 Uhuru buzz words

Our solid goals are as follows: To free Africa and her scattered people; To build a single united African nation, where the means of production is in the hands of the workers themselves. We are talking about the dictatorship of the African working class.

Wherever we are located in the world, our freedom will only depend on our capacity to organize for revolution!

I call on all freedom loving Africans to join the African People’s Socialist Party!

Join the African Socialist International!

About a week after white people overwhelmingly voted for Donald Trump, the Women’s March on Washington was born.

The march, also known as the “White” Women’s March in some black women circles, burst onto the scene claiming to come to the defense of marginalized women who were targeted by the “rhetoric of the past election cycle.”

Like me, you might be asking yourself how the Women’s March organizers intend to come to the defense of the African and Arab women, as well as women of other oppressed nations.

Africans who live on the Gullah or Geechie Islands are being forcibly removed from their homes by crooked colonial politicians and parasitic capitalists in favor of hotels resorts and golf courses.

These Africans­––known as Geechie people by many­­––are the descendants of Africans from West and Central Africa who were enslaved and forced to work on the rice and indigo plantations on the islands off the coast of South Carolina, Georgia and northeast Florida during slavery.

Their isolated location on these islands have sheltered them from much of the outside colonial influences. This allowed them to preserve much of our African culture through language, food, music and spirituality.
