Location: Rust College,
Description: The AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDENT LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE January 17-18, 2009- Rust College, Holly Springs, MS NOTE: Let's hope this Black Student confab will be able to move from a GabFest filled with wonderful talking heads to a more ACTION-oriented Movement for Black Liberation.

Various international forces (including India, China and certain Arab States) are scrambling for a better position to feast on the blood of Africa. The contradiction was laid out clearly by Chairman Omali Yeshitela when he stated, "everyone has a plan for Africa except for Africans." And so we are confronted with the question - what is our plan for A
