 to reparations to the African community.\n\nStates Uhuru Solidarity 
 Movement president Stephanie Midler, "This system isn't going to solve the 
 problems it has created for the African community or for anyone. We support 
 the Uhuru Movement in building African self-reliance programs that include 
 economic development institutions to create community commerce, community 
 gardens to provide access to healthy food, freedom schools that offer 
 community-based, meaningful curriculum, and independent media like Uhuru 
 News, Uhuru Radio and The Burning Spear Newspaper. This is the movement 
 that is leading the creation of a new world for all of humanity."\n \nOmali 
 Yeshitela and Penny Hess will also be speaking at "World Hunger: Made in
