The Inaugural Black August Hip-Hop Concert/Fundraiser
Aug 21, 2010 from 9:00am to 8:00pm EDT
Location: IYO Community Center
Description: Why is there such a thing as a Black August celebration? Where did this tradition come from? When did it start and how was it celebrated originally? The first thing we would like to state is that we commemorate Black August, not celebrate it. We don’t want people to think that it is a party or just an event. Black August is about resistance. The concept of Black August developed inside the California prisons, under the leadership of men like George Jackson, W.L. Nolan, and Khatari Gaulden, who were all murdered in California prisons. As taught to us by the OG’s (Original Guerrillas), Black August was a response to the need of Afrikan prisoners to form a principled and effective political unity to combat the racism and genocide against Afrikan people behind the walls. Black August began in 1979, one year after the murder of Khatari Gaulden. As part of Black August brothers fasted the days of the assassinations of the comrades (24-hour fast). On the other days, they fasted until sundown
