Uhuru Movement

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. 

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.

CAPE TOWN—The ASI went to the Western Cape on the 3rd of October 2016, in order to consolidate our Party there and connect the struggle of the students in the University of Cape Town with the struggle of the African working class.

The purpose for consolidating our Party in Western Cape is mainly because there has been much exposure of the Party there through the African working class spreading works of the Chairman through video and literature as well as the outreach of Party leaders and friends of the Uhuru Movement.

Over the weekend, Africans in New York, Washington D.C., Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Kansas, Texas and Illinois convened in their respective states to adopt the black people’s agenda which consists of a Declaration and 19-points .

Twelve states in all have signed onto the Black Power Agenda (including Florida, Missouri and Alabama) and are organizing Africans throughout their states to the National Black Political Convention. 

Our black people’s Agenda was sparked by the historical failure and betrayal of both white ruling class parties to solve what are considered “black people” problems and the uttered uneasiness the present U.S. presidential candidates evoke in the stomach pits of Africans trapped in the U.S.

African people stuck in the U.S. have come to a consensus: we have our own National Black Political Agenda for Self-Determination and will gather on November 5th and 6th in Washington D.C., just days before the white people’s election on November 8th.

The African National Congress (ANC) is a petty bourgeois party that is against African students.

We are in a crisis of imperialism where imperialism is being challenged by the colonized masses all around the world, including in South Africa. 

The crisis in South Africa is ripening. It inspires the students.

For more than 30 years, the Uhuru holiday pie sale has been the progressive holiday tradition in the San Francisco Bay Area and in St. Petersburg, Florida. Each fall, thousands of delighted buyers and hundreds of volunteer bakers and pie sellers support this vital program. 

The outpouring of support is not only for the mouth-watering fresh-baked fruit and nut pies. Uhuru Foods and Pies is a dynamic African economic development institution of Black Star Industries (BSI). 

BSI is the seed of the independent African economy through which we will once again own and control our resources. This is the future that each bite of an Uhuru Pie builds.

This year, Uhuru Pies Oakland is proud to introduce new head baker, Ngoyi Folayan!

The Black Community Control of Police Working Group of the Black is Back Coalition along with RBG Fridays and several members of the African community held a rally in defense of African resistance on Thursday, Sept 22nd.

The immediate reason for the rally was the police execution and subsequent media slander of slain African resistance fighter Nicholas Glenn. Glenn ambushed and killed at least one cop in West Philly on Friday Sept 16.

St. Petersburg, FL. Chairman Omali Yeshitela, leader of the African People’s Socialist Party and the Uhuru Movement addresses an enthusiastic audience Tuesday, Sept. 13 at Akwaaba Hall about the issue of the anti-African mural that hung in the St. Petersburg, FL city hall for 30 years.

As the local leader of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) Chairman Yeshitela, then known as Joseph Waller, ripped down the offensive painting during a protest on 50 years ago on December 28, 1966.

So when they killed that twenty-three-year-old boy in Milwaukee last night, it wasn’t some mistake, any more than it was when that white man killed that child in Huntsville, Alabama.

Why did that white man kill the child? Why is there a George Zimmerman? Why do we have the Ku Klux Klan and all those other entities?

Because that is the way this whole entity was created. Because in England and France and European places where you had a  movement from feudal control.
