DESCRIPTION:Tune in to the LIVE broadcast of African Liberation Day, Sunday, 9-5 U.S. 
 Eastern Time. Hear from representatives of today's most dynamic 
 organizations working for African rights worldwide.\n\nOmali Yeshitela, 
 Chairman of the African People's Socialist Party. "At this time of crisis, 
 when Africans are looking for alternatives to Americanism, Barack Obama 
 sucks our people back into the safe embrace of the Democratic Party. In the 
 1960s the U.S. government assassinated our real leaders like Malcolm X, 
 Fred Hampton and other members of the Black Panther Party, and then raised 
 up neo-colonialists like Obama to mislead our people. It's time to rebuild 
 our African liberation movement, this time on a united worldwide 
 scale."\n\nGlen Ford, Executive Editor of Black Agenda Report. "This 
 wholesale surrender to Clintonism with a Black face and winning smile 
 cannot be justified on any substantive political basis. Therefore, 
 progressives find themselves with no choice but to "hope" that progressive 
 "change" will somehow occur, despite the fact that Obama has laid out 
 positions that are anti-progressive by any measure. Especially among 
 African Americans, there is a virtual refusal to allow issues to intrude on 
 Obama's parade."\n\nChokwe Lumumba, Chair of the New Afrikan People's 
 Organization (NAPO). Lumumba has served as NAPO's chairperson since its 
 inception in 1984 and has led and/or participated in the organization's 
 community youth programs, anti-crime patrols, political education forums, 
 legal service clinics, and various other community service activities. An 
 attorney, Lumumba co-founded the National Black Human Rights Coalition and 
 the Detroit Black Human Rights Coalition.\n\nIvory Sobukwe-SoDaye, 
 President of the International People's Democratic Uhuru Movement (InPDUM). 
 Founded in 1991 in Chicago by the African People's Socialist Party, InPDUM 
 organizes for reparations to African people for slavery and colonialism, 
 demands an end to the police containment of our communities, pushes for 
 real economic development instead of more police, and protects the dignity 
 of our children as intelligent, capable and talented human beings.\n\nAjamu 
 Sankofa, National Conference of Black Lawyers. Sankofa is a human rights 
 public policy specialist, a former trial lawyer for the ACLU National 
 Prison Project and Director of New York City PoliceWatch of the Ella Baker 
 Center for Human Rights. As the Executive Director of the NYC Chapter of 
 Physicians for Social Responsibility, he helped to lead community campaigns 
 against environmental racism. His expertise is in the area of criminal 
 justice, public health, and healthcare.\n\nDr. Aisha Fields, Director of 
 the All African People's Development and Empowerment Project (AAPDEP). A 
 physicist, Dr. Fields coordinates AAPDEP's sustainable energy, clean water 
 and community-controlled health care projects throughout the African world. 
 AAPDEP is building an African Corps of Engineers, Scientists & Healthcare 
 workers who put their expertise in water purification, waste-water 
 treatment, well-building, rainwater harvesting, construction, sanitation, 
 health, nutrition, renewable energy technology, farming, agribusiness, soil 
 science and other related areas into service to benefit developing African 
 communities throughout the world.\n
