OCCUPIED AZANIA––The U.S. Consulate in Occupied Azania (South Africa) denied African Socialist International Comrade Tafarie Mugeri’s request for a U.S. visitor’s visa. 

The request for the visa was made so that he could attend the African People's Socialist Party's (APSP) July 2016 Cadre Development School (CDS) at the Party’s headquarters in St. Petersburg, Florida. 

As the Chairman of the African People’s Socialist Party and African Socialist International, Omali Yeshitela often says, “If the objective is simply to understand the scriptures of the bible, study the bible, but if you want to understand the history of human society, you must study the world.”

The African community of St. Petersburg, Florida will be marching for Black Community Control of Police and an end to the genocidal murders of black people by the colonial police tomorrow, Sunday July 10, 2016.

Forty-five Cadres of the African People’s Socialist Party (APSP) and the African People’s Solidarity Committee (APSP) have convened at our Party’s headquarters in St. Petersburg, Florida for the 2016 Cadre Development School.

We were taught that the Fourth of July marks the day on which U.S. colonial settlers adopted the Declaration of Independence and eventually defeated a tyrannical and undemocratic British government that unfairly levied taxes against European settlers of U.S. colonies. We’re taught that this bestowed upon them “certain unalienable rights” and a representative government.

However, we––colonialized peoples––should recognize the holiday as another colonial ploy devised to impose a distorted and disturbing narrative upon us.

ST. PETERSBURG––The Tampa Bay Times released an article Tuesday, June 28th titled, “St. Petersburg committee will invite Uhuru leader's input to replace mural he tore down 50 years ago.”

This piece discussed Chairman Omali Yeshitela of the African People’s Socialist Party (APSP) and the the Uhuru Movement, ripping a anti-African mural from the walls of St. Pete’s City Hall 50 years ago on December 29, 1966.

That date in 1966 marks what could be the first time the world saw the slogan “black power” actualize.

BIRMINGHAM, England––The African People’s Socialist Party was first in Birmingham in 1983. We traveled there as part of a European and United Kingdom-wide tour to promote the outcome of the World Tribunal on Reparations for black People in the U.S. that was held by our movement in Brooklyn, New York in November 1982.

When we went to Birmingham, we went as African Internationalists, not Pan-Africanists. Nevertheless, we thought it possible to work with self-declared Pan-Africanists despite our ideological differences.

Adopted September 23, 1979.

Revised and adopted at the First Congress of the African People's Socialist Party, September 6, 1981.

ST. PETERSBURG, FL––The St. Pete branch of the International People’s Democratic Uhuru Movement (InPDUM), as forewarned, initiated one of a battery of protests in resistance to the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Department’s drowning murder of three teenage African girls––Dominique Battle (16), Ashaunti Butler (15) and La’Niyah Miller (15).

This direct action was ignited at a private cocktail party and white nationalist electoral fundraiser in the white enclave of Clearwater, FL for senate nominee David Jolly––hosted by none other than the infamous sheriff Bob Gualtieri.
