Reparations Movement and Issues

Subject: Reparations Movements & Issues

What role should organizations outside the U.S play in the Reparations
Movement march and demonstration?...THE HONORABLE MARCUS MOSIAH GARVEY´s
earth day was chosen for such a manifestation (read excerpt below), hence,
ideals of Inity throughout the Diaspora must solidify under this agenda.

"The Reparations Movement is growing and has become a mass movement. Many of
the key reparations leaders and organizations participated in the
conference, such as: Dorothy Benton Lewis, Hannibal Afrik, Johnita and Imari
Obadele of N`COBRA; Atty. Roger Wareham and Latifa Carter of the December
12th Movement; Jo An Watson from Congressman John Conyers' Office; Saludin
Muhammad from the Black Workers For Justice; Atty. Humberto Brown of the
Black Radical Congress; Bob Brown of the Kwame Ture Institute; and me,
representing NBUF.

Great support was received from participants in the SOBWC (the State Of
Black World Conference) for the Durban 400's call for a National Reparations
March and Demonstration, scheduled to be held in Washington, D.C. on the
Honorable Marcus Garvey's birthday, August 17, 2002. This march will be
called Millions For Reparations: Land for the Landless ~ Free Our Political
Prisoners! We will be looking for the youth and student organizers and
activists to play a significant role in making this march and demonstration
successful. This SOBWC helped intensify our organizing work to build and
strengthen the Reparations Movement."
