One week ago, the ‘Global Afrikan Congress’ (GAC), the trans-national Pan-Africanist organisation that was founded in Barbados at the 2002 anti-racism conference, launched an international campaign aimed at achieving a world-wide boycott of products manufactured in France, such as French wines and other liquers.
The reasons given by the GAC for this campaign against France, are the continuing refusal of the French authorities to acknowledge their historical debt and to pay ‘Reparations’ to Haiti

This is a story of life and death. On Facebook, I saw the news that Gil Scot-Heron, one of my favorite artists, had died. I checked a news site and confirmed the truth. Then on 20/20 I saw the story of Channing Moss, an American soldier who had been wounded by a rocket propelled grenade. A group of soldiers risked their lives to save his.But would his unborn child ever see him?
Asian, white and black men helped to get Channing Moss off death's door, removed the grenade from his body and helped
I just saw a picture on Huffington Post about the way that budget cuts have forced the closure of public swimming pools across the country. The picture was of two darling African-American children who were enjoying the experience of being in a public pool. This is something they may not be able to have much longer. Across the country swimming pools for poor, African-American and other children are being seen as a luxury as cities fight to maintain their essential services. It’s hard to make a ca

Rethinking Malcolm means first learning how to think: What was Marable thinking?
by Abdul Alkalimat / June 2011
The new book by Manning Marable, Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention, will help us get to a deeper understanding of Malcolm X and the times we’re living in now. This will not be a direct result of what Marable has done, but rather what needs to be done because of what he has done. We can advance our thinking through deep and thorough criticism of this book.1 We are facing a challenge to our

Where is the North American African Nation?
Pan Africanism is great as per internationalism. The African Union of the Diaspora is fine as per internationalism, but where is the apparatus of the Nation of North American Africans? Where is your sovereignty, self determination. How can one even accept Pan Africanism without nationalism. Yet, every African in Africa is a national. There is no nation called Pan Africa, unless you mean Brooklyn, New York!

By definition, a booth of any type usually denotes a structure -whether temporary or permanent- for the purpose of vending something. Food booths at a fair; toll versions on highways; and the ticket box office at a concert, all dispense something to the consumer in exchange for currency of some type. Trade show booths are analogous to the aforementioned, in that the objective is to provide information about a product or service to potential customers.
