The Nelson Mandela Foundation today announced Mandela Day 2015, urging the public to register their actions on http://www.mandeladay.com.

“Nelson Mandela’s legacy has created the opportunity for us to achieve a bright future,” commented Sello Hatang, Chief Executive of the Nelson Mandela Foundation. “Madiba aptly said: 'What counts in life is not t

I just wrote a blog post about the legal way that blacks can be re-enslaved.  See http://www.reparationslaborunion.net/blacks-can-be-re-enslaved/ .

It is incendiary, but when a watchman (or watchwoman) sees danger coming, he or she is supposed to sound the alarm, else God would require the blood of the people of his or her hands.  

One reason blacks have never received reparations is because we aren't free.  Yet.  But we can be.

The future is the consequences of our decisions.  We can decide on a f

The late Jamaican reggae singer Peter Tosh was right on target in his song “Equal Rights” when he sang:

“Everybody is talking about crime
Crime, crime, crime, crime
But tell me
Who are the criminals?
I don’t want no peace
I want equal rights and justice”

I am black. I have many white friends. I consider them good friends. They are not racist. I am outraged at the wanton killing of unarmed black men all over America. Based on direct and indirect conversations, I would have to say, sadly, that not a

  Environmental racism is a subgroup of environmental justice, or "the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies" ("What Is Environmental Justice?"). It calls for a complete lack of discrimination in environmental law as opposed to an enforced equality. In rel

Baltimore Peace Plan

Baltimore is simmering because of the brutal murder of Freddie Gray by the police. Already there has been two days of looting and rioting despite the peaceful protests of thousands.

Black Midwives and Healers Attendees 2013 ~

   It is fitting that the 9th International Black Midwives and Healers Conference (IBMHC) 2015 will be commemorated in Portland, Oregon, because Portland is also the headquarters of the International Center for Traditional Childbearing (ICTC) and the original site of the first IBMHC in 2002.

The ICTC is seeking presenters for the 9th International Black Midwives and Healers Conference (IBMHC), “Honoring Our Past, Embracing Our Future.” The conference

 “Ferguson, Missouri helped bring attention to the extent of ‘offender-funded’ criminal justice services. The city was relying on fees, fines, and court costs for 20 percent of its budget, effectively turning it into an occupied territory, with a 95 percent white police force supporting itself by forcibly preying on a nearly 70 percent black population. Who benefits from this ‘criminalization of poverty’? In the

By Orrin Hudson, former police officer-turned-community activist.

  I've said it before, and I'll say it again: In a situation with the police, it’s not immediately about who is right or wrong, it’s about staying alive. If the police are making a wrongful arrest, this can be corrected later at a safer time.

Too many unarmed African American men are losing their lives to white police officers, and most of the time justice is not being served. But even if justice is served, a valuable life has al

 “As the media continue to consolidate and corporate ownership amasses greater power, money, and influence and control over the public and government officials, in effect creating a plutocracy, the public interest is increasingly marginalized and negatively impacted. A very real threat of corporate media globalization and transnationalization is global dominance by elites over the public by way of a propagandist medi
