On this special 100th episode of Black Power Talks we uplift African Liberation Day. African Liberation Day is May 25. May 25, 2022 marks the 50th anniversary of the first African Liberation Day mobilizations in the United States. May 25, 2022 also marks the 50th anniversary of the African People’s Socialist Party.
As African Internationalists, we know that Africa is not free and that the Organization of African Unity, now rebranded the African Union (AU), served the colonial and neocolonial interests of legitimizing the colonial borders in Africa. These colonial borders were forced upon African people through centuries of colonial assault that produced the wealth of the white world at the expense of the African world: the colonial mode of production. African Internationalists observe African Liberation Day as a part of our quest for true African Liberation, the way Marcus Garvey, Kwame Nkrumah, Patrice Lumumba and others envisioned it: A united socialist Africa governed by the African Working Class.
We have a real treat for you. First, we introduce our newest team member, Solyana Bekele. Second, we dug in the crates and found a real gem in our archives: the 1973 African Liberation Day presentation by Chairman Omali Yeshitela entitled "We Are At War" delivered in Gainesville, Florida.
