B.F. Bankie,

The A-APRP ^(GC) hopes this email finds you in the best of health and spirits.  Thanks for acknowledging receipt of our Open Statement on the 8^th Pan-African Congress in Accra. We have published our Statement and this Response on our web portal.  We have reached several conclusions also, drawn from our five decades of experience and study, our Pan-African objective and our Nkrumahist-Toureist ideology.

Africa, from Cape to Cairo, is our home, our Motherland. All 1.5 billion African People scattered, suffering and struggling in 125 countries in the world are our People.  We do not ask anyone’s permission to suffer and struggle with them.  We do not pretend or seek to lead them, and cannot be lead.  We do not disrespect you or anyone.  We disagree with your positions, and will not compromise our principles.

We are familiar with Malcolm’s Statement at the July 17-22, 1964 OAU Meeting; and with his letter from Accra, Ghana, the then “fountain-head of Pan-Africanism” under Osagefyo Kwame Nkrumah’s leadership.  Our commitment to revolutionary Pan-Africanism begins from this date.

Malcolm did not create this bond “between Africa and its Diaspora,” as you suggest; and it cannot be so easily broken as you postulate.  You do not speak for Africans on the Continent, especially the almost one-half of them whom are Muslim.  We doubt if you speak for many of the others.

We are not afraid of conflict, we don’t run from it, we run to it. Reactionary African chiefs, (Traditional religions) working with and for European (Christian) and Arab (Muslim) masters “sold” us into the Diaspora (trans-Mediterranean, trans-Red Sea, trans-Indian Ocean and trans-Atlantic).  They enslaved millions more of us on the Continent.  We fought them then and continue to fight them now.  We are sure that the revolutionary African youth will fight with us, once they recognize the truth.

We are also familiar with Malcolm’s article on zionism which was published in the Egyptian Gazette on September 17, 1964.  “The zionist-capitalist conspiracy,” Malcolm wrote, “dread Gamal Abdul Nasser’s call for African-Arab Unity under Socialism.”  Our commitment to Palestine’s liberation, and our uncompromising struggle against zionism and the illegal, settler-colony of Israel begins then as well.

Nasser and Malcolm did not create this bond between Africans and Arabs; and it cannot be so easily broken as you also postulate.  Marcus Garvey, W.E.B. DuBois, George Padmore, Kwame Nkrumah, Ahmed Sekou Toure, Kwame Ture and others, also called for this revolutionary African-Arab unity.  The A-APRP ^(GC) reaffirms this call, and extends it to include all genuine revolutionary forces in the Middle East and Africa, and their Diasporas.  This revolutionary camaraderie is needed more today, than ever!

Bankie, we are amazed at how little you know about the internal dynamics in the African community in the United States, or in the Pan-Africanist and nationalist movements here.  We do not share your belief that the World Conference against Racism represents a watershed for the movement. It was certainly not a revolutionary watershed.  Your concern regarding Minister Louis Farrakhan (Nation of Islam) and Omali Yeshitela (African Peoples Socialist Party) has been read, especially your concern regarding their position on the situation in the northern part of Africa, our Motherland.  We notice that you have not voiced any concern regarding Obama’s escalation of US AFRICOM’s presence in Africa.

The A-APRP ^(GC) does not work with or for the United States or Israel, or their allied governments, political parties, foundations and NGOs.  We do not intend to do their work for them now, and therefore decline your invitation to debate or denounce Farrakhan or Yeshitela. We have no relationship with many of the forces with whom you work.  We will not denounce or debate you or them behind your backs either.

No organization or individual has “carte blanche” on any area of interest to 40 million Africans in the United States; not even Obama and the US government.  Some organizations have more access to the establishment—right, center and left—and are more resourced.  They are therefore in a better position to be seen and heard, by external forces.  Those on the ground see the lightning and hear the thunder before they feel the rain. “Black visibility,” as Kwame Ture correctly said in 1967, “is not Black Power.”

Malcolm met three political forces in Cairo 50 years ago: Nasser’s forces, Sunni Islam under the control of Saudi Arabia, and the Muslim Brotherhood.  They were then and remain at war with themselves and others.  Malcolm tried to align with all sides, a good choice for him then (perhaps), a “non-aligned” choice that was determined objectively by political and spiritual necessity.

Osagefyo cautioned us in 1964, that “a new harmony needs to be forged, a harmony that will allow the combined presence of traditional Africa, Islamic Africa and Euro-Christian Africa, so that this presence is in tune with the original humanist principles underlying African society.”  He told us that “[o]ur society is not the old society, but a new society enlarged by Islamic and Euro-Christian influences.”  He also told us that, “a new emergent ideology is therefore required, an ideology which can solidify in a philosophical statement, but at the same time an ideology which will not abandon the original humanists principles of Africa.” (Consciencism; Philosophy and ideology for decolonization. p. 70.)  He named this philosophical statement consciencism.  We did not listen to Nkrumah 50 years ago.

Sekou Toure delivered a position paper on the relationship of Religion and Revolution at the 1979 Congress of the Democratic Party of Guinea.  Kwame Ture delivered a speech at Dunbar High School in 1983 on Religion and Revolution.  The All-African People’s Revolutionary Party ^(GC) will republish them on our webportal. We did not listen to them 35 or 31 years ago.  Their voices are hot silent however.

The so-called “silence” of the African community in the United States regarding Sudan and South Sudan is a MYTH! You perhaps have not heard its many and conflicting voices.  That is your problem, not ours. Perhaps you have heard, disagree with certain positions, and are lobbying against them. Again, your problem.  We give two facts that debunk your myth of “silence:”

1. Condeleeza Rice, Colin Powell, Susan Rice, Barack Obama and the forces within the African community in the United Sates whom they represent are not silent.  They oppose the government of Sudan.  They support Chevron Oil and the government of South Sudan. They and the fundamentalist Christians, Jews and Muslims with and for whom they work for are pouring money and soldiers, drones and guns into every village in Africa. Confusion, corruption and opportunism reigns supreme, and Africa is drowning in blood once again.
2. The All-African People’s Revolutionary Party ^(GC) and the forces we represent, which are admittedly small and not heard, are not silent either.  We have condemned, and will continue to condemn the African governments of Sudan and South Sudan.  Both have the blood of hundreds of thousands of Africans on their hands. We have spoken and will speak out against both governments, Chevron oil, and their mercenary armies and allies, especially the US and Isreal.

Again, the All-African People’s Revolutionary Party ^(GC) unequivocally condemns the trafficking in and enslavement of all human beings—historically and currently—in all forms and manifestations, domestic and international, in every corner of Africa, the African Diaspora and the World.  We condemn human rights violations, genocide, ethnic and religious cleansing, chauvinism and ethnocentrism.  We also condemn racism and sexism, capitalism, imperialism, colonialism, settler-colonialism, Zionism, segregation, apartheid and neo-colonialism.

We do not support 8^th PAC in Capetown or Accra!

READY FOR THE REVOLUTION!

All-African People’s Revolutionary Party (GC)
Statement on the 8th Pan-African Congress

August 19, 2014

To:  International Preparatory Committee for the 8th Pan-African Congress (8th PAC) and the North American Delegation

The All-African People’s Revolutionary Party (GC), respectfully, declines your invitation dated July 19, 2014, to participate in 8th Pan-African Congress, convening November 4-9, 2014, in Accra Ghana.  We have followed the 40-year struggle to convene 6th, 7th and 8th PAC’s.  The A-APRP (GC) has discussed the call for an 8th PAC for almost two years.  We were informed about the progress of other efforts in Trinidad and South Africa.  We were correspondingly informed of anti-Arab, anti-North African sentiments, anti-Muslim and other views.  We exchanged our views—openly and principally–to all parties concerned, but did not join or attack any initiative.  We would error by joining or attacking this 8th PAC initiative.  For what purpose, and to what end?

Malcolm X correctly stated in 1964: kittens born in an oven are not biscuits. We are African, period; and it is unthinkable for us to be part of a Delegation that identifies itself as North American and is composed overwhelmingly of individuals and organizations with whom we share no history of struggle, and have minimal or nothing politically in common. We would never consent to being silenced, managed or controlled. We would never agree to implement positions and projects with which we disagree. We know that our Nkrumahist-Toureist analysis of history and our principled positions on socialism, capitalism, imperialism, neo-colonialism, apartheid and zionism would be a minority interpretation, a correct one nonetheless.  It is better raised, principally, outside this Congress.

The 8th PAC theme speaks about a “pan-African Movement.”  The A-APRP (GC) is part of the “Pan-African Movement,” and is conscious of the difference between the two.  The 8th PAC theme calls for“structural transformation” without explaining how it is better than “structural adjustment”.  The A-APRP (GC) calls for the political education and organization of the African masses, and for the organization of the African Revolution.

The African Revolution has identified its enemies and is crystal clear that the realization of Pan-Africanism can only come with the complete destruction of capitalism, imperialism, colonialism, settler-colonialism, segregation, apartheid, zionism, neo-colonialism, and with them sexism, racism, Euro-Asian supremacy, and all of their manifestations in every corner of Africa, the African Diaspora and the world.  We are also clear that, in our Pan-Africanist lineage, Pan-Africanism is correctly defined as, One Unified Socialist Africa!

“The Pan-African Congress Movement: Building Solidarity for Emancipation and Transformation” is posted on the North American Delegation’s official website.  We note the ideological inconsistency with respect to the use of “pan” versus “Pan.” The Pan-African Congress Movement that it speaks of is at best, a subset of the larger Pan-African Movement; it is not the Movement.  This paper references the “global political, social and environmental challenges” that we face today.  It does not mention the global economic, military-police and ideological war that is raging in every corner of Africa, the African Diaspora and the world.  Why?

The A-APRP (GC) disagrees with this line of thinking regarding the origin of the Pan-African Movement, which has been the dominant view for a century, a view that was shared by Kwame Nkrumah, Sekou Toure and Kwame Ture.  Historical research and ideological struggle has called this view into question.  It is sexist, elitist, chauvinist, micro-national and African-American centered.  Intellectual honesty requires us to revisit and re-frame it.

How can Dr. W.E.B. DuBois be considered the “father of Pan-Africanism” when Henry Sylvester Williams and others proceeded him; and Marcus Garvey and George Padmore were his contemporaries?  How many fathers do we have or need?  Who is the“mother of Pan-Africanism?” The “roots of Pan-Africanism,” according to The Pan-African Congress Movement: Building Solidarity for Emancipation and Transformation, “can be traced to the trans-Atlantic slave-trade,” “500 years ago,” and “the bonds of solidarity and unity forged” on the slave ships. Why trade instead of trafficking?  Why not war or “social violence” as Walter Rodney labeled these slave raids?

Why do we continue to frame Pan-Africanism as a reaction to Euro-Asiatic “adventures,” to paraphrase Kwame Nkrumah, albeit tragic ones?  The A-APRP (GC) traces the roots of Pan-Africanism to the struggle—class struggle, following the laws of historical development, —to build a larger and more complex African society and civilization in every corner of Africa, north and south, east and west?  Surely, this is the main root!

Why trace Pan-Africanism’s roots to the trans-Atlantic traffic exclusively, and not the trans-Mediterranean, trans-Red Sea, trans-Indian Ocean and other external routes of trafficking and the enslavement of Africans, many of which continue to function today?  Why not also include the internal routes of human trafficking in every corner of Africa before, during and after the European and Asiatic (including Arab) invasions, which were conducted in the name of Judaism, Christianity and Islam?  Did we not forge unity and solidarity during these Maafas as well?

Do we suggest that the 500,000 Africans trafficked to the United States made a greater contribution to the Pan-African Movement—which is larger than the Pan-African Congresses—than the 10,000,000 Africans who were trafficked to the rest of the Americas, or the 15,000,000 who were trafficked to Asia and Oceania?  Is this not chauvinism, “American exceptionalism” in its ugliest form, by Africans enslaved in the “belly of the beast?”

As Nkrumahists-Toureists, we respect and support all progressive and revolutionary meetings and traditions within the Pan-African Movement. We condemn the counter-revolutionary and neo-colonialist meetings and traditions. We inherit and continue the revolutionary organizational tradition that emerged full blown at the 5th Pan-African Congress in Manchester in 1945.  Our inheritance and continuation also emanates from the African Democratic Rally(RDA) in Bamako in 1946, the Bandung Conference in 1955, the African-Asian People’s Solidarity (AAPSO) meeting in Cairo in 1957, the All-African People’s Conference (AAPC) meeting in Accra in 1958, the Organization of the People’s of Africa, Asia and Latin America (OSPAAL)meeting in Havana in 1966, the Organization for Latin American Solidarity (OLAS) meeting in Havana in 1967, the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA) meeting in Caracas in 2004, and a host of follow-up, and other regional and local meetings. The 6th, 7th and 8th Pan-African Congresses are not a part of the Pan-African movement’s revolutionary tradition. We are conscious of the neo-colonial parties and governmental processes within the façade of the Pan-African Movement, but we choose to not have any relationship with them, or the African Union.

What does “intellectual understanding” and “spirit of freedom mean?”These concepts sound elitist and a-historical.  Intellectuals understand, while the masses are imbued with emotions and spirits?  This assessment, sounds like warmed over spittle, warmed over “Negritude”.  We are asked to believe that Africa is “liberated,” with the exception of a few remaining colonies in Africa and the African Diaspora.  How is this “liberation” defined; and when, where and how did it occur? How has it changed the condition and lives of the masses of African People on or off the continent?  If “liberated,” then a new series of pan-African meetings is surely required?  Those of us who know that Africa and the African Diaspora is not “liberated” will continue to fulfill our generational mission to help liberate it from the bottom up, not the top down.

Twenty years ago, on April 6, 1994, the last day of the 7th Pan-African Congress, a plane carrying Juvénal Habyarimana and Cyprien Ntaryamira, Presidents of Rwanda and Burundi, respectively, was shot down killing all aboard.  Genocidal killings organized by the Rwandan government, mass murder organized by the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), a wave of spontaneous revenge killings, and mass displacement of the Rwandan people began the following day, and continued for four months.  This event escalated the four year old “civil war.”

From April 7, 1994 to mid-July, an estimated 800,000–1,000,000 Rwandans were slaughtered: 300,000 to 500,000 Tutsis and 500,000 to 700,000 Hutus.  Who murdered them, and why?  What role did France, the United States, Tanzania, Uganda, Libya, and other countries play?  An additional 2 million Rwandan citizens became external refugees, and 1 to 2 million became internal refugees.  This Rwandan Genocide has had a lasting and profound impact on its neighboring countries, particularly in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo, including the First Congo War (1996–97) and Second Congo War(1998-2003), and the conflict in Goma (2003-2013).  Nothing was said about these crimes during the 7th PAC or the last 20 years. Why?

It would be a crime against our conscience, a crime against history, a crime against African and world humanity, if this silence of betrayal was permitted at the 8th Pan-African Congress. AFRICOM, the militarization of Africa, and related “democracy promotion” and “development” efforts by the United States and its allied governments must be condemned.  The genocide being committed in Palestine, in West Papua New Guinea, and other areas of the world must also be exposed and condemned.  The All-African People’s Revolutionary Party (GC) rededicates itself to these tasks!

To Complete Research for The War against Kwame Ture (Stokely Carmichael) and

To Help Build the All-African People’s Revolutionary Party (GC)

From March 1965 to July 1969, Kwame Ture (Stokely Carmichael) traveled from Lowndes County, Alabama to every major city in the United States and key cities and countries on every continent to help organize and build support for the Black Panther Movement-Party (BPM-I) and its imprisoned leadership. He continued to support the Black Panther Party’s and Black Liberation Army’s prisoners of war, political prisoners and cadre in exile for the rest of his life.

Governments and organizations (for profit and not-for-profit) in every corner of the world (right, center and left) waged a ruthless war to prevent this independent, militant, Black Nationalist and Pan-Africanist movement-party from being built. Having failed in this initial goal, they waged a decades-long war to co-opt and control, contain or crush it. Kwame’s contributions to the BPM-P’s birth and growth have been minimized, distorted and deformed, and “whited out” of history. This war continues and intensifies as we approach the 50th anniversary of its founding.

In 1967, Kwame also joined the Movement to Take Kwame Nkrumah Back to Ghana, the Democratic Party of Guinea under the leadership of Ahmed Sekou Toure, the Pan-Africanist Congress of Azania, and the All-African People’s Revolutionary Party which was founded by Kwame Nkrumah. For the next 31 years of his life, until his transition on November 15, 1998, he traveled to every continent, and many countries and cities in the world supporting and helping build these and other revolutionary movements and parties, especially the A-APRP. The A-APRP (GC) inherits and continues this revolutionary theory and practice. This history has not been told. Few people in academia or the movement are qualified to tell it.

“No participation, no right to observation!  No investigation, no right to speak!”

Bob Brown is retracing as many of Kwame’s organizational footsteps as possible, given the current world political and military climate, and scarcity of resources. He is coming to your campus and community, city and country in 2014 to help build new and re-establish old branches of the All-African People’s Revolutionary Party (GC) and to help re-establish old and build new relationships with revolutionary allies. He is also coming to your area to complete research for The War against Kwame Ture (Stokely Carmichael) which he and Dr. Christian Davenport are co-authoring.

Bob’s 50-years of participation in the student and youth, civil and human rights, Black Power and Pan-African, socialist and peace movements; and his work with the Congress of Racial Equality, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, the Black Panther Party, the All-African People’s Revolutionary Party (GC) and with Kwame Ture have earned him the right to observe. His exhaustive and unparalleled investigation, and his encyclopedic knowledge of Kwame’s contributions and achievements have earned him the right to speak. He must observe and speak now, or forever hold his peace. He must also continue his life-long, revolutionary, Pan-African and Internationalist work, study and struggle.

Christian Davenport is a Professor of Political Science at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor; a Faculty Associate at the Center for Political Studies, Institute for Social Research, and a Global Fellow at the Peace Research Institute Oslo. His professional and personal interests include political conflict and violence – particularly that involving governments and those affiliated with them (e.g., genocide/politicide, mass killing, torture, bans, curfews, beatings, arrests for political purposes and domestic spying). He has looked at both global patterns and individual cases (the United States, Rwanda, India, Northern Ireland as well as more recently Darfur, Sudan and Mexico).

Chris is an expert in archiving massive collections of information relevant to conflict and analyzing the macro and micro determinants of contentious politics. His publications include: “Media Bias, Perspective and State Repression: The Black Panther Party;” “When Democracies Kill: Reflections from the US, India and Northern Ireland;” “Protesting While Black? The Differential Policing of American Activism;” “The Puzzle of Iraqi Mortality: Surges, Civilian Deaths and Alternative Meanings;” “Velvet Glove, Iron Fist or Even Hand? Protest Policing in the United States;” “Licensing Repression: Dissent, Threats and State Repression in the United States;” and “Understanding Covert Repressive Action: The Case of the US Government Against the Republic of New Africa.”

The War against Kwame Ture (Stokely Carmichael) is the authorized biography of Kwame Ture and it is the definitive history of the COINTELPRO and cointelpro-like operations waged against him, and against the movements, organizations, governments, activities and events and leading personalities with whom he collaborated, competed and conflicted. This book is explosive, and it will change the historical narrative and discourse; a much needed and refreshing change!

Tony Hall (left at the table), an award winning writer, director and producer living in Trinidad and Tobago, is producing a film titled Kwame Ture (Stokely Carmichael) Dances in the Fire! See the following links for three of his productions: “Miss Miles” the Woman of the World,  Monster March and Dish Ran Away with the Spoon.

Dion Boucard, an award winning and accomplished videographer also from Trinidad & Tobago, is assisting him in this production. See the following links for two of his video projects: Prepared to Fight and Justice for Children March.

On August 24-25, 2013, Nagib Malik, Umilta Lucre and Lynette Kelly (left to right), Kwame’s sisters, Austin Letren, his cousin and Ismael Lucre, his brother-in-law interviewed as part of the research process the film. Other interviews will be conducted later. The edited footage will be used in the trailer and 2-hour, full feature film.

Rocka and Sony Boy, Nagib’s daughter and son-in- law, hosted the video shoot, and a dinner and film party for several of Kwame’s friends in the Miami area. Members of the All-African People’s Revolutionary Party (GC) and several of Kwame’s co-workers and supporters donated monies to cover the travel expenses of Kwame’s Family. We thank them!

The Trinidad and Tobago Film Company awarded the Kwame Ture Film Project a modest grant. Its stamp of approval is priceless. It will finance the production of our 6-minute trailer.

You will enjoy and be very proud of this trailer and film!

We will keep you informed of our progress!

An Evening with Bob Brown

Black Rhodes Scholars Association

October 20, 2013

By Bob Brown and Christian P. Davenport

[Note: This quote is excerpted from the COINTELPRO Black Nationalist memo by J. Edgar Hoover, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, August 25, 1967. Kwame Ture, Jamil al-Amin and the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee were listed as the primary targets of this operation. Our book documents cointelpro-like operations worldwide, from 1933 to 2013.]

Our Book

The historiography of Kwame Ture; of his generation, political time and cultural space; of his contributions and achievements; of the student, human and civil rights, nationalist, Black Power and Pan-African, socialist, anti-repression and peace Movements; and of the worldwide war against him and those Movement, to paraphrase Osagefyo Kwame Nkrumah, is “encumbered with a host of malicious myths:” omissions, errors, conscious-less exaggerations and minimizations, half-truths and shameless lies.

*

This historiography,” to paraphrase Joe Street, who teaches at Northumbria University in England, has reached its “golden age,” but it “remains contested ground and a subject of continuing debate.” Our book, The War against Kwame Ture (Stokely Carmichael), enters this contest, joins this debate, and debunks these myths, these “fallacious assumptions,” to paraphrase Kwame. Like Kwame at Berkeley in 1966, we will identify and condemn these myth makers, these exaggerators, these liars; and we will condemn them, and demand that they criticize and condemn, correct and perhaps punish themselves. More importantly, we will debunk and correct these myths in our book.

“We are struggling in the arena of ideas,” as Kwame said at the Malcolm X in the 90’s Symposium in Havana in May 1990. “The form of struggle which we have before us [today] is a serious struggle.”

Our ground-breaking book challenges and changes the established, Euro-centric and Afro-centric (right-wing, center-wing and left-wing) paradigm, narrative and discourse, a much needed, refreshing and revolutionary challenge and change. It is the first, exhaustive, revolutionary, and Pan-African:

• Study of this historical and continuing COINTELPRO and cointelpro-like war;
• Historical and socio-political analysis of Kwame’s and our political time and cultural space; and
• Biography of Kwame Ture, and his contributions to the Citizens Empire and Home Rule Party; the student left at Bronx High School of Science in New York; the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee; the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party; the Lowndes County Freedom Organization and the larger struggle to build Freedom Organizations in 21 other counties in Alabama and 631 other counties in the “Black Belt South; “the Black Panther Movement worldwide from 1965 to 1969; the Movement to Take Kwame Nkrumah Back to Ghana; the Democratic Party of Guinea; the Pan-Africanist Congress of Azania; the All-African People’s Revolutionary Party; and hundreds of other revolutionary political movements and parties in every corner of Africa, the African Diaspora and the World.

Kwame and we helped make and change history. We helped change Africa, the African Diaspora and the World, our families and ourselves, though not as we had hoped or planned, not enough—quantitatively or qualitatively—and certainly not permanently.

How You Can Help!

You have a choice on which causes you invest your time, talent and treasures in. We need your help because the cost of completing, publishing and launching this book on May 24, 2014 at African Liberation Day in Washington, DC far exceeds our limited resources—human and financial.

We have run this race, with encouragement and support from a small circle of comrades, sisters and brothers, and friends like you, for 50 long, hard years. We see another victory line, a very small victory! We can not cross that victory line however, without your continued encouragement and support.  Please pre-order a paperback copy ($25.00 USD) of The War against Kwame Ture, TODAY! You can also:

• Invite Bob Brown and the All-African People’s Revolutionary Party (GC) to your campus, community, city and country to research, recruit, network, and raise funds. This will enable and empower us to complete our archival research and conduct interviews with people, like many of you, who worked, studied and struggled, sacrificed and suffered with Kwame, but have never been interviewed before.
• Volunteer to help us complete our archival research and conduct strategic interviews.
• Recommend The War against Kwame Ture (Stokely Carmichael) as a resource for teachers and students, activists and organizers, especially those who never heard of him, and were not born or of political age during his political time and cultural space.

Thanks for joining our Campaign to support the publication and distribution of the 1^st edition of The War against Kwame Ture (Stokely Carmichael). It has been a long and hard 15-year struggle since Kwame’s transition on November 15, 1998 to produce this much needed and long awaited book. We have made it to this point in our crusade with your encouragement and support. We cannot fulfill our promise to Kwame and you, and cross the victory line without your continued encouragement and support!

Your contribution towards the funding of this effort by pre-ordering a copy ($25.00 USD) of our book TODAY, enables and empowers us to complete and publish this much needed and long demanded narrative-changing, discourse-changing and movement-changing study of political repression against Kwame and us, and the movements, organizations, governments, activities and events, and key personalities with whom he and we collaborated, competed and conflicted throughout Africa, the African Diaspora and the World. This war against him and us, his memory and legacy continues today. It will intensify as we approach the 50^th anniversary of his Black Power speech on June 17, 2016.

Your contribution by pre-ordering ($25.00 USD) a copy of our book will enable and empower Kwame to speak to and recruit progressive and revolutionary forces—especially youth and women—in every corner of Africa, the African Diaspora and the World, once again; and it will hopefully inspire them to join the Revolution—the African and World Revolution—like he and we did.

We will keep you updated on our progress!
