A Contribution To...
Truth, Justice, Self-Determination, Peace and Healing!
Greetings of IMANI (FAITH) Gods/ Goddesses, esteemed Elders, right-eous Sister and Brother Leaders, wrongfully-encaged and exiled Political Leaders, unjustly-imprisoned Family Members, youthful Repara-tionists and supportive Allies:
May our Divine Mother-Father Creator of and in All--and beloved Ancestors from yesteryear and yesterday--find you and (y)our extended family in healing spirit. WE appreciate and are so grateful that you have taken time to visit our evolving website www.AfricansDeserveReparations.com
Like many other organizers, activists and contributors, WE are working for concrete solutions to address the more than half-a-millennium of continuous Maafas (or, great disasters in Swahili) inflicted upon the African masses. These include righteously demanding self-determination, political independence, land, mass democracy, health and medical care, re-educational processes, freedom and amnesty for our imprisoned and exiled political leaders and relatives, cash payments and much more... for the centuries of unrelenting war, enslavement, colonialism, mis-education, unjust mass imprisonment, white terrorist supremacy, as well as (federal, state and local) government-sanctioned brutalities, robbery, discrimination and numerous other crimes against our humanity and nature. Furthermore, WE are seeking to help connect Reparations' advocates and supporters from around our African Diaspora and internationally in positive and progressive actions for power. It is our goal to further inspire you in developing (y)our OVERstanding of this critical mission; and of the important steps needed to achieve our generations' mandate for truth, justice, self-determination, peace and healing... through Reparations.
Please contact us to: request our articles, books, videos and music; schedule a speaking engagement; help organize your next spiritual, political or economic justice action; participate in our "Kugichagulia: What's Your Priorities for Self-Determination and Reparations?" Survey; view our PhotoJustice/PhotoPower Images exhibit; arrange a book-signing; and/or a musical/poetry performance.
Asante Sana (Many Thanks) for visiting www.AfricansDeserveReparations.com

Facebook @ WE DEMAND REPARATIONS
Photo: Baba Jahahara helps raise demand for Reparations--including the immediate release, amnesty and restitution for our wrongfully-imprisoned and exiled political leaders in the U.S.--with the International Pan African Collective (based in Paris, France) at the United Nations' European headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. Baba Jahahara is holding up a Red, Black and Green Flag of Liberation given to us by our great Ancestor MARCUS GARVEY; and a "REPARATIONS" poster which was designed by and a Gift from our beloved Baba Emory Douglas, a profound activist, artist and former Minister of Culture for our Black Panther Party for Self-Defense. This photo was taken by our dear Brother Kali Akuno of the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement. A similiar photo appeared on the cover of The Final Call newspaper, published by the Nation of Islam under the leadership of Elder Minister Louis Farrakhan. (6249 KMT/2009)
