We face a current political and social climate that continues to belie black humanity - where, without impunity, a young black man can be followed into his grandmother's backyard and shot in the back six times out of the 20 shots fired at him.

San Antonio Park 1701 E 19th Street, Oakland, CA, United States18th annual Malcolm X Jazz Arts Festival Saturday, May 19, 2018 San Antonio Park Noon-7pm FREE As we all gather together at this annual festival to regroup, to build, to feed our souls, and to acquire knowledge we embrace the theme for this year’s festival: A cultural reconstruction for third world self-determination. * As a Third World organization we understand that the key path to justice, democracy and equality in the U.S. is based on the struggle for Black & Brown unity. Our strength then must connect with liberation struggles in Mexico/ Latin America and the African Diaspora. This is what Malcolm X understood and advocated when he spoke of the Third World nations and peoples. We call for Black & Brown unity as a pivotal force for self-determination especially in these mad times of a resurgent white supremacist offensive. Black & Brown unity not only in our neighborhoods but also across the globe to reconnect our lives, our struggles, our cultures with Mexico, Latin America and the African Diaspora… To strengthen our historic ties and collective memories… our art and music, we need a new cultural consciousness to reconstruct a demented social order and to wake up America. *CULTURAL […]
