Community Forum - Black Economic Development

On Sunday, October 11th from 1-3pm at Akwaaba Hall, 7911 MacArthur Blvd. in Oakland participate in a forum entitled “African Working Class – Push for Economic Development”. Keynote speaker, Chairman Omali Yeshitela, leader of the Uhuru Movement, will be discussing the importance of “Africans building our own African independent economy”. The African People’s Education & Defense Fund is sponsoring this event and is also launching African community economic development institutions such as Uhuru Jiko Community Kitchen. Uhuru Jiko in Oakland will be home to a workforce development project providing employment and training – including those in the African community who have experienced incarceration which drastically limits opportunities to contribute to their families and communities.
