DESCRIPTION:	\nFrom Port-au-Prince, Haiti to Puebla, Mexico: Poor people of color 
 resist colonial rule, and WIN!\n\nPlease join us for a night of poetry, 
 music and resistance as we build Black-Brown solidarity in paying homage to 
 our warrior ancestors who struck back even when the odds we...re against 
 them!\n\nThe first week of May is the *150th ANNIVERSARY* of The Battle of 
 Puebla (la Batalla de Puebla) when Mexico accomplished its historic defeat 
 over the French occupying army. This victory could not have been 
 accomplished had the Caribbean island of Haiti not proved to be such an 
 inspiration in resisting colonial rule. In 1804, Haiti’s slave rebellion 
 successfully created the first black-led nation to have conquered their 
 colonizers and the first independent nation in all of Latin America.\n\nThe 
 people of Haiti and the people of Puebla share a common bond—in Puebla, 
 mestizo soldiers were outnumbered two to one while Black Haitians faced 
 Napoleon’s heavily armed military—but both oppressed peoples prevailed 
 in what many refer to as two David and Goliath victories.\n\nWe hope this 
 celebration of community can inspire us to begin to form the strength in 
 what is possibly the most insidious Goliath to date—the United States of 
 America. Only united can people of color be the most powerful David we can 
 be.\n\nAll over the world, May Day is celebrated all week long! Lets 
 continue to draw energy from the May Day march, and on May 4th come 
 together for an evening of friends and fierce family!\n\nPoets, Performers
