"Blacker the Berry: Discussion on Colorism in the Black Community & Tributes to Marcus Garvey"

Garvey's words: "If you have no confidence in self, you are twice defeated in the race of life" and "The Black skin is not a badge of shame, but rather a glorious symbol of national greatness."- will be the foundation of these discussions and community solutions.
What can we do to erase the color lines within our own community and embrace our sisters and brothers regardless of hue? Can the Natural Hair Movement help create a sense of Black Pride and Self-Respect in our community?

This forum and tribute on Marcus Garvey Day 2013 will explore our African-Caribbean/American community's methods to erase the color and class issues we have within our own community.
