Black Journal: Angela Davis and the Soledad Brothers (1971) Ambakisye-Okang Dukuzumurenyi 43 Views • 5 years ago

Entitled, Justice? the presentation will include five segments: 1. The Courts: Legal experts examine the difficulties blacks face in American courts the virtual impossibility of receiving trial by pears; the systems tremendous backlog of cases; lack of money for competent legal assistance; and pressures to accept lesser pleas, among other problems. 2. Prison: In exclusive interviews conducted within the San Quentin and Soledad Prison in California, prisoners talk candidly about their lives in prison the dehumanizing conditions and racial pressures; their reasons for being there often poverty or lack of competent legal assistance; prisons failure to rehabilitate and adequately prepare prisoners for post-prison life; and the problem they face upon release which virtually ensure failure to establish normal, productive lives. 3.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Permits White Racists to Kill Our BLACK Babies
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Permits White Racists to Kill Our BLACK Babies Kwabena Ofori Osei 48 Views • 2 years ago

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. told racist white people: "You could bomb our homes and threaten our children, and we will still love you." When you really think about the level of insanity embodied within that statement it is really depressing. But not as depressing as the celebration of the man who stated it.My heart goes out to those four little girls that lost their lives in a place where they were supposed to be safe, and in the Era of a manhood that would allow such an atrocity to go unpunished and unavenged, for the sake of 'faith' in his 'white brothers'...I recall something I read in the Amsterdam News after the murder of Michael Brown:“What other race of men on the face of this Earth allows their children to be murdered in the streets with no repercussions? Have we become so emasculated as a race of men that not even our babies are worth fighting, killing and dying for? Real men fight for their elders, women and children, despite the odds against them."I was taught that if you want a woman’s loyalty ... give her a sense of security. How can a Black woman feel secure with a man who isn’t willing to fight, kill or die to protect the life she pushed out her womb for you? Are we a race of men? Or are we a race of cowards? This ain’t a rhetorical question. We must make a conscious decision to fight or wither away into extinction.”http://amsterdamnews.com/news/....2014/aug/14/police-b
It is no wonder why this man (Martin Luther King) is promoted so much in this white dominated society ... And thus we have all of the Trayvon Martins and Aiyana Jones’s of today.What's even more sad is that there are black males who will come on here and DEFEND this level of cowardice. They will come with innumerable excuses ("We can't win a fight with the white man"... "If we fight we die...") and justifications for this cowardly madness.I actually feel sorry for Black Women... they have to look around and see these sorry examples of manhood totally unashamed that they are complete sheep...Sisters... If you have a man that can sit here and defend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., take a long look down at your precious little black babies... and then come to the realization that you do not have a man.

CABRALISTA FOCUSES ON A. CABRAL'S LEGACY AND THE BIRTH OF THE "CABRALIST" MOVEMENT IN UPRISING AFRICA

Synopsis

The Movie is a 2011 documentary film by Valerio Lopes. It asserts a number of theory-based ideas born around Amilcar Cabral and the independents and human rights movements he led mainly in the 1960'ies.

Amílcar Cabral was a Guinea-Bissauan leader, writer, freedom fighter and politician, he was assassinated in 1973.

"Cabralista" reflects the collective memory, how this revolutionary theoretician whose influence reverberated far beyond the African continent is remembered. With never released voice recordings, humanist citations and quotes, timeless footage and cultured visual effects, this film is a unique vision of Africa yesterday and today.

From the first audience granted to an african freedom fighter by the pope Paul VI to Amílcar Cabral in 1970; to his speaking in front of the United Nations security council again as the first defender of African Independence, Cabral's unique work is remembered in this film by young African and Pan-African scholars filmed in Cape Verde, Libya, Portugal, Guinea Bissau ...

...

Inspired and artistically designed with the fantastic Opus of Amilcar Cabral in mind, the goal of this documentary is to put his theories and ideas in the spotlight. Comparing his work with actual cultural and social issues, like the foreseen north-african revolutions, the countries who helped Cabral in his struggle are identified in this movie by Amilcar Cabral's words that seemed to predict the actual facts.

The goal of this movie is to spread Cabral's words ...

... and wisdom and support the cabralist concept of re-africanisation of the spirit, recognised all around the world as a pillar of african emancipation.

Underlined with musical compositions that put the audience into a unique african atmosphere and supported by his own graphical look.
This 52 minutes long film is a mirror of African humanism and socio-cultural evolution and progress.

Vertical Micro Gardening - IDEAS For Uganda
Vertical Micro Gardening - IDEAS For Uganda Ambakisye-Okang Dukuzumurenyi 26 Views • 5 years ago

It is estimated that by 2030 nearly 50% of the world's population may live in urban areas. Consequently, many millions of acres of productive farmland are expected to be lost to housing and industrial usage. In Uganda, the lack of appropriate farmland, low incomes, unemployment, and natural disasters have resulted in very poor food security. This makes the country’s chances of halving poverty and hunger by 2030 very slim. Uganda and other African countries need to increase agricultural productivity in a sustainable manner through innovative approaches, particularly in dense urban areas.

On top of this, Kampala is facing a major issue with urban waste management, where nearly 28,000 tons of waste are delivered to city landfills each month. However, according to the Kampala Capital City Authority, this represents only 40% of the waste generated in the city. The rest ends up in unauthorized sites. Often on city streets and in dense urban areas, causing significant environmental and human health problems.

So in 2014, a group of students at the Makerere University chapter of IDEAS For Uganda, led by Mr. Paul Matovu, developed an innovative approach to urban micro-gardening and integrated waste management in Kampala, a social enterprise called “Vertical Micro-Gardening” (VMG), the first of its kind in Uganda.
