Building African and Mexican Unity in the Anti-Imperialist Struggle

On Thursday, April 12, African People's Socialist Party Chairman Omali Yeshitela spoke to an enthusiastic audience of students and community activists on the campus of the University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA).

Omali Yeshitela's UCLA speech will be broadcast on http://www.UhuruRadio.com this Sunday from 10:00 - 11:00 (10:00 - 11:00 a.m.) U.S. Eastern time.

Chairman Omali opened his presentation giving appreciation for Union del Barrio, the Mexican liberation organization with which the APSP has a long-standing fraternal relationship. "We are living in a world today where most of the oppressed peoples of the world are rising up and creating incredible crises for a social system that has its origin in, that was born from, the process of taking away our freedom and taking away our resources. When we talk about this false and artificial conflict between Mexicans and Africans here, it is usually a conflict born out of a struggle for resources. The reality is that, if you really want to look at the question of resources, both of us have been had! As Malcolm X said, 'we been took, we been misled, we been bamboozled', because neither of us has anything. Mexicans ain't got nothing. Africans ain't got nothing. All of us are impoverished because of our relationship to imperial white power. And that is what we are going to have to come to terms with and be able to attack."

Other special programs this week include:

"Building African Liberation Day - May 26, 2007 - Washington, D.C." will again be the topic of discussion on "Africa Live" this Sunday from 11:00 - 13:00 (11:00 a.m.- 1:00 pm) U.S. Eastern time on UhuruRadio.com

As the fight for Africa escalates on the continent, this African Liberation Day event has the historical mission of putting the question of African liberation through revolution back into the minds of the masses of our people, after the military defeat our movement suffered in the 1960s. We must build the U.S. front of the international African revolution!

"Stop Horizontal Violence" will be the topic of discussion on "Uhuru on the Move" this Sunday from 13:00 - 14:00 (1:00 - 2:00 p.m.) U.S. Eastern time as InPDUM organizer Kobina Bantushango interviews survivors and activists dealing with "black-on-black crime".
