Philadelphia PA On Saturday, April 21st the African People’s Education and Defense Fund (APEDF) is holding our 7th annual Uhuru Health Festival & Flea Market and April 28 APEDF and Black Star Industries (BSI) in Oakland are hosting the 4th Annual Uhuru Health Fair at our own Akwaaba Hall. The theme from coast to coast is Family • Fitness • Freedom: Putting the Power of African Health in African Hands.
Bakari Olatunji has been an important part of the Uhuru Movement in Oakland, where he grew up, since the mid 1980s.
The African People's Socialist Party is united with the African nation to mourn the passing away of Comrade Winnie Madikizela Mandela, a brave daughter of Africa venerated through the world for her role in standing up against white power in the settler colony of South Africa.
It was during one of my frequent prison stints that it became clear to me that the era of “protest politics” was over; that our people had to really fight for power and that meant we had to have a political party, the most effective vehicle for capturing and wielding political power.
