On May 24, 2025, the African People’s Socialist Party (APSP) is sponsoring an African Liberation Day (ALD) event to forward the struggle for global Black self-determination during this time of crisis for the white power colonial system, given birth by our enslavement and forced dispersal to every corner of the world. It is also the time we celebrate the founding of our Party, as we adopted May 25, 1972, as our founding date.
This is a historical moment that has caused great anxiety for much of the world, including those who pose as Black leaders since the assassinations of such towering figures as Malcolm X, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Patrice Lumumba, and Kwame Nkrumah. We, however, don’t share this anxiety. We are determined to continue building a life for our people that is not determined by which person or party occupies the seat of power in Washington, DC, or anywhere else. We will not be deterred in our historically determined mission to live as a free people.
On July 29, 2022, our Party was violently attacked by the armed forces of the U.S. government because of our work to complete the Black Revolution of the 1960s—work that caused the colonizers to tremble with such fear that they threw off all pretexts of democracy and Civil Rights and made mass jailings and political assassinations a common occurrence. We are still here! The struggle of our people continues, here in the U.S., in Europe, South America, the Caribbean, Africa, and the world. We have not compromised. We have not surrendered!
We are calling on you to step forward and participate in this historical ALD event that will contribute to our ability to secure the future of ourselves and our children by achieving self-determination and the power of self-government. We are actively engaging in the process of constructing a world without colonial domination.
Sisters, Brothers, and comrades, at this critical moment in history, the African Nation—Black people everywhere—are witnessing the virtual unraveling of the U.S.-led system of colonial-capitalism. This is the system that has colonized Black people the world over, resulting in our oppression, enslavement, theft of our resources, and assassinations of our leaders and revolutionaries.
While Trump and the colonial-capitalist system wreak havoc, we fight back. Examples of the fightback abound. Our recent stunning victory in the colonial court system—determined to imprison APSP Chairman Omali Yeshitela and solidarity leaders Jesse Nevel and Penny Hess—as well as the finally successful fight to free Indigenous freedom fighter and political prisoner Leonard Peltier, are but a few examples.
From the Palestinian resistance to Mali and Burkina Faso, to the more than fifty years of revolutionary struggle and development by our Party, the fight to free the world of colonialism continues.
This is the context that validates the founding of our Party and our work to unite our people in the struggle to become self-governing and assume responsibility for our future. We will fight for African liberation for African people everywhere we’ve been dispersed, until it’s won!African Liberation Day 2025 will take place at the Uhuru House in St. Petersburg, Florida under the red, black and green flag, where the Freedom Summer “Not one step backwards” rally drew sup-
