International People’s Democratic Uhuru Movement (InPDUM)

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.

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).

Oscar Brown Jr. walked and talked self-determination

There are many African artists who deserve recognition from our youth and the world. Oscar Brown, Jr. (October 10, 1926 – May 29, 2005) is one such artist.

Brown was more than an artist. OBJ––as we referred to him back in the day––was a human rights activist in addition to performing as a singer, songwriter, playwright, and poet. OBJ influenced Richard Pryor and Gil Scott-Heron.

Mother Warrior joins fight for economic independence!

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.

Editors note: The following is an excerpt from an Amilcar Cabral presentation at an international conference on national liberation in Havana Cuba in 1966. The presentation was titled “The Weapon of Theory.”

LONDON––The Jewish settler’s leaders are involved in a criminal attempt to legalize their occupation of settlements on land stolen from Jordan, Syria and Palestine in Israel’s 1967 colonial war.

On November 6, 2016, the Israeli settler colonial government approved what the New York Times characterized as “a contentious bill that would allow for the retroactive legalization of Jewish settlement outposts built on privately-owned Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank. The measure breaks a longstanding taboo, and in the view of many experts, it defies international law.”

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.

The African petty bourgeoisie, also had its own beneficial interest in trying to integrate into the social system.

The masses of African working people wanted to stop crackas from killing us, stop the brutality, stop the murder, stop the lynchings. We just wanted some kind of chance. We just wanted to know that we could have a child who might have a future.

There was no future! So all of them wanted change and wanted some kind of fundamental transformation
