African People’s Socialist Party (APSP)

It has been said that freedom of the press belongs only to those who own and control it; and it is with the understanding that the African working class had to have its own voice and be able to define the world around it that we began publishing The Burning Spear newspaper in 1968.

December 22, 2016 marks The Burning Spear newspaper’s 47th Anniversary! That's 47 years of revolutionary struggle reflected on the pages of our newspaper!

Since our very beginning, The Spear has given our people the proper tools and information on how to get organized and how to win against colonialism and parasitic capitalism!

The African People’s Socialist Party will, on January 7-9, 2017, put revolution firmly back on the agenda for African people with our annual magnificent Plenary celebration to be held at our headquarters in the city of St. Petersburg, Florida!

Our Party members, members of our mass organizations and supporters from around the world will converge in St. Pete for this revolutionary celebration. 

The African People’s Socialist Party (APSP) is pleased to announce the launch of our newly updated website on December 19, 2016 after over a month of hard work and dedication! Our new site can be found at this URL: Apspuhuru.org.

The African People’s Socialist Party has never had any illusions about the ability of the electoral process to provide freedom, justice or progress for our people, especially the African working class population of the U.S. and the world.

 This is why we were prepared when Donald Trump became the 45th president of the United States in an upset victory over Hilary Clinton, the flag-bearer of the Democratic party of Barack Hussein Obama.

Charlotte, NC—The State has once again ruled that their murder of an African was justified. Keith Scott was shot and murdered by Charlotte police on September 20, 2016.

The issue of names and naming is really powerful.

It’s so deep and profound, more than what most of us ever think about. Most of us don’t think about our names, where we come from, what our names mean, anything like that, which in and of itself is a problem. But we never think about that.

Names are really important because names connect you to a past, to your history. Names are not just things floating out there in the world, but if you want to even look back and see where you came from and dig into your roots, the name is fundamental. It comes from someplace.
