Hundreds gathered November 7, 2009 in Washington, D.C.’s historic Malcolm X Park to acknowledge the launching of the Black Is Back Coalition.  Increasing frustration with a decades long, and worsening, decline in organized progressive politics prompted the formation of the coalition, this initial public statement and march to the White House.  Under the banners of “Social Justice, Peace and Reparations,” “Out of Afghanistan,” “Liberation for Palestine,” and “No More War!” dozens of activists and artists raised their voices and all can be heard in the following four segments which we’ve collected from the Uhuru Radio re-broadcast.  Speakers includes Pam Africa, Glen Ford, Head-Roc, Lawrence Hamm, Curtis Gatewood, Omali Yeshitela, Precise Science, Nellie Bailey, and many others.

  1. Curtis Gatewood was unable to attend, so he did not speak.

    Thank you to everyone who made this day happen. It was well needed.

  2. I thought Nellie Bailey & Pam Africa “knocked it out the park” figuratively speaking. Although with respect to Pam Africa I probably would have used a better choice of words,ie…profanity, I could definitely understand her sense of frustration with the current conditions. In any event I hope this is only the genesis in the re-birth of Black people here in America. I salute all of the organizers & participants!

  3. People are starting to wake up. Every culture and race has a liberation army, which need to be united. The World Government is a terrorist organization. World Health Organization, United Nations, Peace One Day, Center for Disease Control (aka Center for Disease Creation), Food and Drug Administration, Department of Defense, Congress, and Medical Industries are engaging in biological, chemical warfare.

    “The use of human subjects will be allowed for the testing of chemical and biological agents by the U.S. Department of Defense, accounting to Congressional committees with respect to the experiments and studies” and “The Secretary of Defense [may] conduct tests and experiments involving the use of chemical and biological [warfare] agents on civilian populations [within the United States].”
