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.

Pan-African Consciousness Renaissance (PACOR) in conjunction with Black Revolutionaries Movement invites all concerned Black persons to join in a Solidarity March against inhumane Indonesian oppression, exploitation, colonization of our pacific brothers and sisters in West Papua!!!

This call for solidarity is embedded in our strong belief that in times of oppression, suppression andexploitation of any rank and file of the Black world, it is not only absurd but treacherous to claim neutrality. There is no sitting on the fence over our liberation, you are either fighting for Black people liberation or fighting against Black people liberation!!!

Date: Tuesday, 21st April, 2015.
Venue: Indonesian Embassy, 5b Anifowose Street, Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria.
Time: 10am Prompt.
