African Liberation Day 2011 is perhaps one of the most significant ALD events. It comes during a time where imperialism is deepening its wars against Africa and African people around the globe.
Imperialism, led by neocolonial U.S. president Barack Obama drops bombs on the people of Libya. Meanwhile, imperialist intervention has created crisis following elections in Ivory Coast. Africans in Haiti continue to suffer occupation and attacks that began following Haiti’s successful slave rebellion and worker’s revolution in 1804, while police violence and economic quarantine continue to be the norm in African communities in the U.S.
However, even as imperialist white power deepens its war against Africans and other oppressed peoples, the resistance to these attacks grows. This struggle of African and other peoples against white power — whether in white face or in the black/brown faces of Obama, Mubarak, etc — is taking center stage, from Egypt to Congo, Haiti to D.C.
This historic African Liberation Day event was called for by Africans and others at the Black is Back Coalition for Social Justice, Peace and Reparations’ Conference on the Other Wars as an event to oppose imperialist wars in Africa and against Africans worldwide, and will be happening simultaneously with ALD events in England and the Bahamas.
Join us at this historic African Liberation Day for music, presentations, workshops and an incredible African marketplace as we celebrate the ongoing struggle of African people for liberation and oppose the imperialist wars against Africa and Africans everywhere!
