DESCRIPTION:Public Meeting Commemorating Black History Month\nBreaking the Silence 
 National Tour\n\nMore than six million people have been killed in the 
 Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire) over the past 15 years. The 
 United Nations says it is the deadliest conflict in the world since World 
 War Two. In the wake of the conflict, US-backed despots have kept the 
 people of the region in a virtual death trap. \nCongolese youth are rising 
 up to change the equation under the guise of the #Telema Movement (Rise up 
 in Lingala).\n\nWe have a very special guest directly from the Congo to 
 give a first-hand account of why the #Telema movement is vital to the 
 future of the Congo and Africa. Ben Kabamba of the Youth For A New Society 
 was at the forefront of the latest uprising in the Congo on January 19 - 22 
 that claimed 42 lives at the hands of Congo's security forces. \n \nMr. 
 Kabamba will be joined by Maurice Carney, co-founder & Executive Director 
 of the Friends of the Congo, who recently returned from the Congo. He will 
 also provide eyewitness account of this rarely covered part of the world 
 where the CIA overthrew Congo's first elected Prime Minister and 
 Independence hero, Patrice Emery Lumumba.\n\nDiscussion will follow 
 presentations.\n\n$5-10 donation (no one turned away for lack of 
 funds)\nWheelchair accessible. Refreshments provided.\n\n
