“The AgitProp presentation was lit!” exclaimed Comrade Gazi Kodzo, as the warriors of the African People’s Socialist Party’s (APSP), Department of Agitation and Propaganda (AgitProp) marched triumphantly out of Akwaaba Hall.

The department has been on the ascend since the appointment of Jevon Gee as Director of Agitation and Propaganda.
AgitProp looks to smash all of its contradictions, as well as imperialism in 2016!
Controlling the narrative
“We control the narrative!”, responded 12 voices belonging to Jay Davis, Will Lockett, LIFE Malcolm, David Smith and other comrades in unison to Jevon Gee’s chant, “Who controls the narrative?!”, before taking their seats near the podium.
Jevon delivered a PowerPoint presentation highlighting the leadership of AgitProp’s work in 2015 defining the critical questions in the world, advancing the African Internationalist Revolution and politically educating and developing leaders in the struggle.
Kabaka Mwanga, Secretary of the AgitProp recruitment team, gave up the goods in the plans to bring more people into the work.
Xavier McGregor presented The Burning Spear’s shared services.
