Opening remarks by Chairman Omali Yeshitela to the 10th annual conference of the Black is Back Coalition for Social Justice, Peace and Reparations, held November 3, 2019 in Washington, D.C.
The Black is Back Coalition (BIBC) is an activist organization that organized for self determination for African people with working groups on healthcare, police brutality and political prisoners.
It emerged during the first term of U.S. president Barack Obama in an effort to give voice to black community demands and interest.
The Coalition has held Electoral Schools in various cities to train community members to field candidates who can advance a "National Black Political Agenda for Self-Determination."
