Black Art and Culture Journey to Spain and Morocco in June 2015.  A five city, 12 day exploration of the African heritage of Spain and Morocco.  Too often when we hear about Spain and Morocco on the news we fail to remember (and celebrate) the deep black African roots that shaped those countries legacies.  Nor are we aware of the way the African heritage continues to shape and inform the contemporary ideas in these countries. 

Cost includes airfare from New York City.

The 13th Amendment that allegedly freed African-Americans from slavery was passed 150 years ago.  However, other than a few Juneteenth celebrations, blacks do not celebrate our freedom.  The Reparations Labor Union will thus begin using Passover as the time to celebrate our freedom.  At this Passover Banquet, we will announce the launch of Merkabucks, a digital currency for reparations, symbolized by a value of $1 billion per descendant of African slaves to the United States.  The Merkabuck can serve as our symbol of declaring our financial independence and economic empowerment.  Although there are enough Merkabucks for all African-Americans of slave ancestry who want reparations, those attending the Passover Banquet and joining the Reparations Labor Union will receive theirs first.  All others may apply for their Merkabucks at http://wp.me/P5UR3S-I .
