Reparations in Action

Today at 3 pm ET on Black Power 96 check out a new special episode of Reparations in Action that takes an African Internationalist look at the US imperialist-created crisis between Ukraine and Russia. Don't miss African People's Solidarity Committee Chairwoman, Penny Hess and Uhuru Solidarity Movement Chair, Jesse Nevel cutting through the hysteria of US propaganda to reveal the truth that the conflict in Ukraine is a symptom of the "Uneasy Equilibrium" between colonial capitalism and the revolutionary struggle of African and other colonized people for liberation. 

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Re-playing Episode 5 of “Reparations in Action: White Lies Shattered" airs Friday, April 9th from 3-4 pm EST on Black Power 96.3 FM, St. Petersburg. This edition features Penny Hess ripping to shreds the white lie that, "It's not about race, it's about class."

Tune to hear the African Internationalist response to this colonizer white left denial of the colonial contradiction as expressed through opportunistic slogans like, "black and white unite and fight," and the historical distortion that says white people were some how “duped” into enslaving and lynching African people.

Episode 5 will look squarely at the vile truth of enthusiastic white complicity with colonial violence through the eyes of the African working class. As Chairman Omali Yeshitela has said, "The real class question is located in the colonial contradiction."

IN CASE YOU MISSED THIS IMPORTANT EPISODE: Did you know that the city government of St. Petersburg, Florida destroyed a black community in the 1980s?

This episode features interviews with African People's Socialist Party Department of Agitprop director and former St. Petersburg city council candidate Akile Anai (AKA Eritha Akile Cainion), APSP member Themba Tshibanda and Uhuru Solidarity Movement Chair and former St. Petersburg mayoral candidate Jesse Nevel who help shatter the lie that the city of St. Petersburg is offering economic development to the African community with any of its corporate schemes to redevelop the land at Tropicana Field which was built by destroying the Gas Plant district, the oldest black neighborhood in the city.

Learn about the vibrant history of this once thriving community and the mendacity of a city government and white ruling class that continues to profit from the forced removal of the African population.

This episode explains the goals of the "Reparations Now: Take Back the Dome," campaign led by the Uhuru  Movement which is calling for the return of the 86 acres of land under the Tropicana stadium to be returned to the black community as an act of reparations."

Today at 3pm ET on Reparations in Action, African People's Solidarity Committee Chairwoman Penny Hess and Uhuru Solidarity Chair Jesse Nevel obliterate the imperial lie that colonial capitalism will solve the climate change crisis.
